Avatar f tn i have had chronic pain in my lower right abdomen for almost 8 years. what started out as a simple inguinal hernia repair has been a nightmare. the doc put the mesh patch in for "good measure". the adhesions are massive. from many doctors i have been diagnosed as having probably 3 nerve paths trapped in the adhesions. The inguinal, hypogastric and genital femerol nerves are all involved. After years and years of procedures I have not had any pain relief that lasted more than a day.
Avatar f tn 10 years ago I had inguenal hernia surgery. For the past 7 years i have been having tightness and pain in that area. I have also been experiensing pain in my periformis and SI joint. I do have issues with internal scar tissues froma mastectomy and i know how damaging it can be fro surounding tissue. Can my problem with my periformus and SI be from internal scar tissue from my hernia surgery!!!! Please,if anyone has any information on this i would love to hear from you.
Avatar m tn Yes and Yes. I had inguinal hernia surgery which and mesh replacement which caused adhesions. I had several surgeries to remove them and mabe I should have given the first with a barrier more time but it been 15 months since my last surgery and now I can feel them come back. My surgeon said it is real easy flip or twist my colon because it is quite redundant. He suggested removing the redundant part may help. Anyway,cmy last surgery was with a Surgiwrap dissolvable mesh barrier.
Avatar n tn I have been recently told by my doctors that I have a paraesophageal hernia. They don't want to do the surgery since I have had so many already: diaphragmatic hernia when born, repair of the diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal adhesions, flundoplacation, and hitial hernia. They said for now it doesn't show any sign of strangulation or getting worse. So my question is should I still try for a baby or will this hernia cause me a lot of issues with pregnancy?
Avatar m tn The last several weeks I been having soreness and pain (sharp, espically when I bend over) around the belly botton area. when passing my hand over this area I can feel bumps (thinking adhesions) In the the last several days I been feeling more gas/bloating.Just for your information I am a personal trainer. in the last several month I have been doing more abdominals exercises along side my clients. Your Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn My Gynecologist thinks I have a hernia. I have a CT scheduled for Friday and a follow up on Tuesday to discuss results and the plan. It's looking like, either way, I'm having another surgery. If it's not a hernia and nothing else alarming shows up, they will assume it's scar tissue and likely to a laparscopy to look for and break up scar tissue/adhesions. Anyone out there have a hernia after surgery?
Avatar m tn Fibroids are often asymptomatic especially if they are small in size. While surgery may be done to separate the adhesions which can reduce the symptoms such as chronic pain, it can indeed increase the risk for more adhesions. Discuss with your doctor the possible management plan including pain management as well as complementary and alternative medicine such as relaxation techniques if surgery is out of the choices. Take care always.
Avatar f tn If the symptom is recurrent, one of the things to think about would be adhesions (in the intestines) that result due to the manipulation involved during the previous surgery. The question is how soon after eating you feel the symptom. If it is as you say, “stops at the stomach” meaning the nausea is immediate, within the first hour of eating, the problem is likely in the stomach and not due to adhesions. An investigation for ulcers may be in order.
Avatar f tn It has been successfully used to help scar tissue and adhesions from surgery. If you go to the ovarian cyst forum here on MedHelp and then to the health pages attached to it (top right) there is a posting for dealing with adhesions. It is worth a try.
Avatar m tn Adhesions occur in response to an abdominal surgery. The most frequent problem with adhesions is constriction of the small intestine which leads to constipation. They can also cause intestinal obstruction. Since you do not have any such symptoms it seems very unlikely that you have scar adhesions. Since you mention bloating, the discomfort that you are experiencing can be due to gas formation.
Avatar m tn When he was 6 years old he did orchiopexy surgery then 2017 pediatric surgery did laparoscopic surgery and found a right inguinal hernia . However, this hernia was never detected in ultrasounds, MRI's or CT's scans. After his surgery the pain got worse. Since 2017 he is having this pain on and off. Now, 2021 the pain is extreme and frequent it's daily at a level 9. He describes the pain likes pins and needles. He is having the pain in bilateral - groining area- femoral area as well.
Avatar f tn you could be experiencing a long term consequence of abdominal surgery such as adhesions which give you pain or a weakening in the wall of the abdomen which is called a hernia. Or you could have a completely different problem. You mention a bone fracture. If you have been postmenopausal for several decades, you may have developed osteoporosis. You may be at higher risk for a fracture. Finally, you could have developed a completely new problem such as a new intra-abdominal process.
438877 tn?1224357489 I developed some adhesions and ovarian cysts several months ago, and combined with not being able to conceive after 9 months of trying I did a laparoscopy last week. The doc removed a large cyst, some adhesions and a little bit of endo..My belly button incision is fine, however, there is a big hard 'lump' around the incision made using the old scar from last year. the bump does not hurt, but the area around it does.. it gets smaller when i lie down and larger when I stand up.
Avatar n tn This is a question that only your surgeon can really answer. It will depend on the extent of your previous surgeries, your tendency to form scar tissue or adhesions, your overall medical history, and your surgeon's level of comfort in using lap surgery in your case.
Avatar m tn I had a mesh put into my stomach wall to seal off a hernia. 8 months later i still have discomfort and mild pain in the pubic area. The pain radiates across both sides of the pubic area. It is impacting parts of my life. Has anybody had the same thing and what was done about it?
Avatar m tn On 4/16/11 had inguinal hernia surgery after about a month felt incomplete evacuation . Went to gastro had mamomatry test and defagram they said might be pelvic floor dysplasia . Went through biofeed back and miralax daily. Things got worse have to strain for bm and no relief in gut when I do constant bloating can't sit so painful did enemas and couldn't pass it all out made matters worse.
Avatar m tn So my point is to try and find a surgeon that can do an open surgery the first time and one that has done many, many open hernia operations.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! Have you had abdominal surgery before? Have you tried eliminating all lactose from your diet?
Avatar f tn Gyne said he would do hysterectomy but absolute last resort as may well cause more adhesions. Had ct scan awaiting results but hear adhesions dont show on scans. Pain worse when sitting better when walking, worse when eating large meals, live on painkillers and stool softners keep having to move about in different positions as pinching in right pelvis goes round to my back, constipation big problem and constant despite laxatives and water and piles and fissures.
Avatar n tn t bad, I still had pain but thought it was from surgery as the doc said I had a lot of adhesions. At the end of two hours in surgery the doc had to call in a second surgeon, it took them four and 1/2 hours to complete the surgery. I woke up crying in pain and it continues.
1512694 tn?1290276815 I was recently referred to a pain specialist by my surgeon as he advised doing more surgery would not help. I have adhesions that have grown over the mesh in my stomach and doing more surgery will only create more adhesions. I cannot stand, sit or walk for long periods of time. The pain is getting so unbearable I am unable to continue working. It is affecting every and I mean every aspect of my life. I really cannot take it much longer.
Avatar m tn The problem is that there is no way to determine if any given patient will develop more adhesions as a result of the surgery. The idea is for the surgeon to use extremely careful surgical technique and disturb as little tissue as possible. Because bowel adhesions are a mechanical problem, there really isn't a medication to help normalize things. This is not IBS.
Avatar f tn I had hernia surgery 7 1/2 wks ago cannot believe the pain i have had. It was a spagelian hernia and I am a female. After surgery my incision & other private parts swelled up the size of a cantelope and turned black & blue , so pain full couldn't walk. bruising and swollen from upper thighs to belly button and around both sides. Said it's a hematoma. Used mesh but that's all I really know.
Avatar f tn The common abdominal causes are appendicitis, IBS, Crohn’s disease, umbilical hernia, cystitis or due adhesions if there is a history of previous surgery. Causes within the umbilicus include a boil or a fistula or abscess. The best thing would be to consult a general practitioner or PCP and try and assess what is the cause of your problem. Then proper referral for concerned specialist can take things further and get you proper treatment. Take care!
