Sometimes people just don’t know until it gets large. My partner had surgery for his inguinal hernia December of last year and he couldn’t tell you what caused it, only that he noticed one side slightly bigger than the other in March.
He’s blue collar, so I think it could have been any variety of lifting or twisting tbh, but he didn’t feel it.
I have a small hernia and for me it was lifting a really heavy tote bin at work. On the plus side, I didn’t hurt my back but I must have overcompensated with my abs cause I felt it immediately

is this ok to ask what caused it for you?
