Can I workout with a 5 mm inguinal hernia?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The smaller the hernia, the riskier it is. I suggest you to , get operated on as soon as possible, quit smoking, take vitamin C (citrus fruits), wear a hernia supporter, avoid heavy exercise, and I will suggest running rather than plank and abs exercise as it will aggravate hernial problem.
