This was my post 2 years ago:
Had some pain at my groin area sometime back due to soccer. Went to the polyclinic and was checked by a young male doctor. Did some checks on the groin area and he suspect could be hernia. Sianz and referred me to TTSH.
Went to TTSH for my appt, was attended by a pretty female doctor in her late twenties this time. So she asked me to pull down my pants and was touching here and there to check if there’s hernia. Asked me to cough and said likely hernia too. Trying to keep my brother cool and not to have any reaction. Arranged for a ultrasound session for me next.
Ultrasound was done by a SYT. It was really good and the ultrasound probe with the cooling gel went around my pubic area. Tried to keep cool. Then an older nurse came in and can really keep cool. Later another male Indian doctor come and and kept really cool. They all looking at the screen and trying to look for the hernia. So the doctor said there’s hernia. Ask me to go home wait for the report.
Went back another day for the report and another young female doctor attended to me. Said that it’s confirm hernia and need to go for surgery. So she asked me to remove my pants for her to check again. Did another round of check and said it’s slight hernia and arranged for surgery.
Wife asked me to go for 2nd opinion since i got insurance coverage. Walked into a specialist clinic in Mt. E and the very senior consultant who did like 3000 hernia operations told me it’s not hernia!!! It’s just some muscle pull during soccer. Gave me some strong muscle relaxant and the pain went off in a week.
Somehow wondered what will happen if i went for the surgery and they can’t find any hernia and just open and closed me up. but the entire episode wasn’t too bad cos got 2 pretty doctors and a SYT examining my package.
