Inguinal hernia pain?

I have been diagnosed with inguinal hernia (left side) and also IBS. The hernia is reduceable,and I offf and on have the traditional aching and referred pain usually associatwed with it. The GP said it was one to watch but didn't necessarily need surgery, now. I also have IBS symptoms , episodic pain, cramps, gnawing etc ,change in bowell frequency but no diarrhea or constipation. They are especially bad at night 3-7 aM . In between episodes , I am feeling normal , or having only minor discomfort. . Can A reduceable hernia cause these IBS symptoms. THere is often no pain at the hernia site, even when the other symptoms are present. I wear a truss all day for the hernia,and take it off at night.
