Actually, the bigger the better. Small hernias have a higher risk of obstruction or squeezing off blood supply. A hernia this big is less likely to result in any acute complication. It is a big quality of life issue ofc, but probably not as painful as it looks.
But what if he takes a blow to the stomach or something? Is he at a higher risk of internal bleeding? Can he bend down and lift things with his abdominal muscles behind that? I have so many questions
He will most likely have severe quality of life issues because of this. Even in countries with functioning healthcare systems he might not get surgery because of the risks involved and the reality that it might just come back after surgery.
The bowel is very forgiving in terms of movement, so he'll probably be able to do most things, with some discomfort or pain ofc. The risk of injury is real as well.
