is there any need to wear LANGOT(Loin Cloth) while doing gym workout
Here in India, lot of people doing workout in gym wear LANGOT(Loin Cloth or Drawers or Nappy), e.g.
They say that if they don't wear it, they will suffer from Hernia.
I have joined gym some days ago and everyone in the gym use it and also advice me to use it or I will get hernia. But I don't think that wearing it will prevent me from hernia.
So is there any need to wear that while doing workout in gym?

No, there is no need to wear it. It doesn't prevent a hernia.
Even one doctor told me once not to wear it, because the testicles are held too close to the body. It is not good because when our body temperature rises, they need to stay away from body. While doing workout our body temperature rises greatly so it's bad to wear it during workout.
it is important to wear this while exercising. you never know what movement will cause a problem."Langot" has been used by wrestlers for as long as the sport has been on earth. If you are over weight (even a little) and using your own body weight for training and doing movements like squats, push ups and/or other leg movements, or anything that puts pressure ofyour abdominal muscles, it can trigger Hernia or other issues with your reproductive system.
Doctors will always tell you things to make you not "worry". They will not be held accountable if something happens. Do you think you can argue with the doctor with "you said it". ????
So take precaution by wearing langot or buy a supporter from a sports shop.
Be safe. Cheers.
