Avatar n tn The hernia feels alot better if i get a complete bowel movement first thing in the morning. Anyway my question is has anyone had a surgery other than the nissen fundo to repair the hernia. I am interested in having mine fixed but do NOT want my stomach wrapped around my esophagus. I'd like for a surgeon to just go in and pull the stomach to its proper position and sew up the hole in the diaphram essentially returning everything to its natural order.
Avatar m tn Hi, I was recently working on something and had to stretch to reach object, when I did I felt a kinda twing in my lower right abdomen, very little pain when happened for about 2 seconds, didn't think much about it . The next day I had very little bowel movement, after that no bowel movements, taking a lavative is the only way I get any movement. Is it possible that I pulled something or some kind of hernia , that can cause this problem?
Avatar n tn I cannot feel anything as I am overweight, so I cannot see a bulge, or protrusion. When I do need to have a bowel movement, the groin does hurt, and quickly passes once I have been to the toilet. I am fearful my hernia may now have bowel protruding through the canal, and want to know if I should seek medical attention now that I am overseas, or wait til I get home in a weeks time. I am fearful as I don't know the countries medical system too well (I am in Greece).
Avatar f tn I have not had what I consider a normal, healthy bowel movement since then. Stool is loose, often floats and stains the toilet (leaves streaks after flushing). Most BMs are urgent and occur 3+ times/day. There is sometimes a burning feeling while going and it is often difficult to wipe clean. I feel bloated/gassy often (especially upon waking) and my stomach is constantly making incredibly loud bubbling/moaning sounds.
Avatar n tn for about 5 days now. I am very constipated. Having very small or no bowel movement. Strangely enough I have not had any pain or bloating. Could this be because I have not been eatting very much or is it a sign that something is wrong? I have been taking milk of magnesia, had a fleet enima yesterday (which did absolutely nothing). Any suggestions?
951267 tn?1246197239 Ironically, a small hernia is more dangerous than a large one; a large one allows bowel to slide in and out, but a small one can trap or pinch the bowel. IF that happens the bowel can die in a small area from lack of blood flow. That MUST be treated surgically or the person can die from peritonitis. You might be getting the severe pain when bowen is trapped, and less pain when it slides out.
Avatar m tn Hello! My girlfriend Emily has been having some problems that just worsened recently and thinks it might be her thyroid but isn't sure. For 9 months she has noticed a slight bump on her stomach area around the colon I think. She thought it was her Hernia...which she had when she was younger and had surgery. There was no pain. It may also be important to mention she's anemic.
Avatar f tn It seems when i have gas, or a bowel movement and sometimes if i eat a heavy meal i get brief periods of tachycardia and sometimes PVC's? anyone know about GI and heart?
Avatar m tn When I bare down,cough,urinate or have a bowel movement it protrudes out and feels hard.I have a soreness in my pelvic area,the top part of my inner thigh,my right lower back and in a few spots in my abdomen.The bulge flattens out when I lay down but it gets big again when standing,walking or sitting for a long time.I went for a hernia sonogram and the results say that I have reactive size lymph nodes measuring 1.1 cm and 1.2 cm with no hernia seen.
Avatar f tn t living. I have had CT, x ray, small bowel study, MRI, exploratory surgery, gall bladder removed, hernia repair, stricture repair and mutliple scopes - still in pain though! Has anyone else who has had this happened to them gotten any answers? I have just gone to a new dr who specializes in the intestine and I pray she can help - I am so frustrated and depressed - I just can't stand it.
Avatar m tn I just had my umbilical hernia surgery 2.5 weeks ago with mesh. If you have the surgery without mesh you could have another hernia as your putting strain down below and it could come through another weak point. It also can get bigger and quite ugly. It is your intestines that you are pushing and squishing back into your body. It's amazing how much we use stomach. Anything you do while working out, you will use your stomach muscles. A support belt would help you out.
Avatar m tn i had hernia surgery 3 1/2 years ago. In recent days I have had a lot of discomfort in the area where the surgery was performed, left side inguinal. Should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn C due to left over products 15 weeks after Cesarean After my gall bladder, and progressively worse third cesarean I experienced inability to have a bowel movement ranging anywhere from 1-2.5 weeks at a time. Relied on laxatives, sought so doctors advice and was told that it was just temporary paralysis of the bowel due to cesarean and that it would come right. I also experienced a pulling/stabbing pain in certain movements of my upper right hand side of my abdomen.
329994 tn?1301663248 I tried to eat solid food and that has not set well on my stomach, very nauseous, so I am gone back to drinking Boost, eating soup, soft foods and that sets better on my stomach, but does not produce a bowel movement. Is this normal after surgery and will it just take more time. I also have a hiatel hernia and take Prilosec 20mg/day. Thank you for any help.
Avatar n tn m on percocets and i know that can cause constipation. about 5 yrs ago i had a hernia with a bowel obstruction and had to have emergency surgery. alot of this pain reminds me of that situation. i took milk of magnesia and still haven't gone to the bathroom. i had a fever last night and also had the chills. i was very thirsty also but not sure if it was because i had chinese food and that it was very salty. i feel the urge to go to the bathroom but nothing comes out.
Avatar m tn There may be constipation or blood in bowel movements. In few cases you may not be able to pass gas or have a bowel movement. If left untreated it can lead to gangrene of that part of intestine. You should be watchful for these symptoms and signs. Take plenty of water and a healthy diet. Do keep me posted. Best wishes and take care!
Avatar f tn my hernia surgery. I went in for minor surgery on one hernia; ended up a three-hour procedure involving two more very large hernias; the surgeon told me that there was a section of bowel lying outside the ab wall; apparently this had been going on for some time. Pre-existing conditions: a replaced mechanical aortic heart valve, have had three other bowel obstruction surgeries, among numerous other minor things. Have been treated for depression in the past.........I am a 72-year old female.
Avatar f tn If it is found via an upper GI and small bowel series that I do in fact have hiatal hernia or some abnormality in that area, how do I fix it? If surgery is needed, is it a complex procedure and how long is recovery? Thanks in advance for responding. Much appreciated.
Avatar n tn Does anything make it worse...like need to have a bowel movement associated with the pain or not long after the pain begins?
Avatar f tn can i or should i take a laxative after surgery had surgery on 21st and still no bowel movement in abdomonal pain will a laxative be okay to take
Avatar m tn hellow iam nikil i had hernia surgery one year ago .can you tell me what excercises should not be done...
Avatar f tn I think that the kind of hernia surgery you are looking at it is a relatively simple surgery, as far as surgery goes. I don't think the dog will have to be put under deep anaesthesia, the procedure is something that is done close to the surface, and it is a fairly quick operation. I would expect a healthy dog to recover well. Your boy might have some activity restrictions while he is recovering, to keep him from pulling the stitches loose and undoing the procedure.
Avatar m tn What can I do? I have an extremely painful Hiatal hernia but cannot have surgery due to blood clots. Also, what alternative medicine is recommended?Please help. Thank You.
Avatar f tn She is doing well and eats fairly good. However, she has not had a bowel movement in 9 days. Any suggestions on what to give her.
3136696 tn?1342709226 I have been having this issue for the last 3 weeks now. When I'm laying down there is an area on the lower right side of my abdomen that protrudes out. It's hard when pressing down and the only way to describe it's shape is it's like a sausage. If I press on this spot I get the sensation that I have to have a bowel movement and I feel gas moving around.
Avatar m tn i have to undergo laser surgery. one year back i had undergone hernia (rt inguinal) surgery. i want to know that is there any problem in carrying out kidney stone surgery now. in any way is it related?
Avatar n tn HI, I had a ct and MRI and it showed the bowel is in the hernia. I have had diarrhea after meals at different times and question if this is the cause of the diarrhea. I have no pain and no vomiting and appetite very good. ALso would surgery stop this diarrhea.
Avatar m tn Have been on Plavix for 13 months and find I need Hernia surgery now as I am having having many problems due to the Hernia. What is the possibility of having surgery? If I have surgery is the Plavix stopped for a number of days and then resumed?
