there is a hernia undergarment that he could wear that helps with support, he can find this at any medical supply store for old people. also if the hernia is bad enough he can probably qualify for some kind of emergency medicaid or medical whatever your state offers.

He needs to wear tighty whities... and pants that hold it in. Tell him not to lift things or exercise. He needs to get the surgery, so look into insurance.

Yes, there are hernia undergarments to wear to hold it in.
My guy had one for almost thirty years, the size of a large grapefruit in the groin area. Sometimes it would pain (strangulate) he would have to lay on his back so it would fall back in place, then get up again and go about his work. After that many years, the pain kept increasing. I'm in USA, I set him up with Shouldice Hospital in Toronto, Canada, all they do are hernias (world renouned). They guarantee their work. They also reimbursed him for his plane ride there. Check out their website. We have insurance, called our company, they said they would not cover the surgery since in was out of country. We submitted them the bill, they paid it. It was cheaper than anywhere around us here in the states. He's very glad he went to them. He was only gone 4 days. It's been 15 years, hasn't returned yet. P.S. They have a game room at Shouldice, he called me while he was playing a game of pool.
