Without knowing exactly what the problem is and the type of surgery your doctor is proposing, it's not possible to get specific. However, most surgeries do have the same types of issues. First, how bad is your pain? Is it affecting your lifestyle? Have you tried various pain relieving medications and/or physiotherapy, or other treatments? Has it affected your ability to move around or control your bladder or bowels? These are some things to consider.
You will need to weigh the potential benefit of surgery against the potential complications. Like most surgeries, there is a chance of infection, bleeding, or blood clots. And, of course, there is always the chance that the surgery is not successful.
This is something you must discuss with your doctor before you make any decisions.
