hernia surgery infertility

Surgery or orchiopexy to bring the testicle into the scrotum is the main treatment and having surgery early may prevent damage to the testicles that can cause infertility. It is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper management. Hope this helps. Take care and regards.

So, technically, my wife conceived after we had been trying for a few weeks (definitely a shocker and a blessing), but unfortunately, she had a blighted ovum and ended up miscarrying. My question is, I have had a rectractile testicle surgery when I was very young (testicle wouldn't stay down and would go back into the groin occasionally, but always came to the normal position. Mesh was put in to prevent that from happening) and I had a hernia repair surgery.

A family member has a new inguinal hernia. It's not super painful, but there's a bulge about the size of half an egg cut longways, which gets bigger when he coughs or anything, but then goes back down to egg-sized. It also gets sore when he does too much walking or gets constipated. He's only had this hernia 2-3 weeks. It hurt much more at first, and never been nearly as painful as when it first happened, but he has some pain a few times a day, but its not really bad.

They can be a cause of infertility and there is also a higher risk of hernia and testicular cancer. The only available treatment option is surgery called an orchiopexy. The success rate with surgery is almost 98%.It is advisable to consult a surgeon and get it operated. I sincerely hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!

m not sure if a hernia can effect his sperm count. I just wanted to tell you my RE office usually can get the results within 2 days unless they require me to come in for a consult. Then they tell me at our appointment.

I have this problem of recent, i had inguinal hernia surgery a year ago. does this mean my body is rejecting the hernia mesh now? What can i do, besides the hospital, i have no insurance.

Hello, Kate I too agree that it sounds like a hernia. I have had all 3 the hernia which I'm having surgery for Dec 6th, the ovarian cysts, and an ectopic pregnancy-both of which I had surgery for years ago. The ovarian cyst would not be protruding to the outside there has to be some sort of weakness in the lining, or the area for that to happen generally seen with a hernia, and your puking episodes could have caused enough straining to cause it.

Thanks! I forgot to say that I have undergone an operation last February because of Hernia, and I've learned that Hernia is usually associated with having an undescended testis. I would just like to ask if how that operation affect my case. THANKS!

Hi, probably the pain is due to varicocele only, wearing scrotal support will help in relieving pain. Surgery is the only treatment. For more information visit http://en.wikipedia.

Is this a result of surgery, the accident or both. I don’t understand how a car accident can cause a hernia.

My husband had the surgery many years ago and he did just fine. You will have to take it easy for awhile though. Depending on how extensive the hernia is, I would'nt be too surprised if they do the surgery out patient. Of course you'll receive pains meds and the Dr will send you home with a script for pain meds.

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.

My doctor said I have symptoms of hernia. I have a bulge on the right side of the groin near the waistline. can this cause either of the testicles to pain? i mostly have pain in the testicles either left or right...the pain starts after I have stood for some time or after a walk?

Hi went to docs with a lump in my groin where groin meets top of leg are and my doc was 99% sure it was a femoral hernia so had to see specialist at my local hospital, he checked me over and wasn't sure it was a hernia at all and has sent me for an ultrasound scan. The lump itself is soft and seems to fill up or vibrate when I feel it when walking and when i exert myself(lifting etc) it gives me occasional pain...

My dr has suggested I have laparoscopic surgery since I have not gotten pregnant in the last 3 cycles with IUI. I've done an HSG and everything looks good. My dr just wants to see if there is something he is missing and can't see with an u/s. Has anyone ever had laparoscopic surgery just because the dr suggested it?? Has anyone ever become successful at becoming pregnant after surgery? I'm very skeptical and can't afford IVF. PLEASE HELP!

t know if it is is directly related, but in 2006 I underwent emergency surgery for an incarcerated hernia at the area of the right inguinal region. Even prior to this hernia, my right testicle would still retract when I was cold. It seems sort of ironic to me. In 1999 I had a vasectomy that resulted into a hematoma on the left side and had emergency surgery to get the blood clot removed. This area never healed and had a small fistula.

Have you gone to see a fertility specialist recently?

The doctor examined me and found a groin hernia and I'm scheduled for surgery in sept. I think I want laproscopic but am I going to end up with permanent pain? will the mesh or non-tension method fail to stop the hernia from progressing? I think it's from the gym or coughing from this tracheotomy I'm getting this crippling nausea sometimes and sometimes protonix helps. is it from the hernia or diabetes or GERD? thanks!

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?

Any every have a hernia while pregnant? I was complaining the baby's head was so low it was hurting - saw my dr today & it turns out it's a hernia! Grrr- at least baby sounds great (got to hear her hiccups on doplar!). Guess I'll goggle hernias until my surgery consult in 2 weeks.

Hi Jenny, I have a hiatal hernia, but do not require surgery...I have known about my hernia since I was in my teens. I had a few flares that required meds...but, with proper diet and lifestyle I am able to keep it under control without meds. I just got my self off meds after being on them 2 yrs....I had flares from 3 diff surgeries....the meds they use to put u under alone can upset a balanced system.

I have already planned the surgery to fix the hernia for next week . 2 days ago I had an ultrasound which showed that I have gallbladder sludge and maybe some very small stones . I never had any pains in the stomach and the only thing that might be a symptoms is some digestive problems . The doctor advised that since I am going to surgery for the hernia I should proceed with the removal of the gallbladder .

Yes. The surgery for a hiatal hernia is the Nissen Fundaplication, where a portion of the fundus is wrapped around the esophagus in the area of the lower esophageal sphincter. As for the type, 90% of all hiatal hernias are sliding hernias, not paraesophageal, so it's probably a sliding hiatal hernia that you have.

I had an HSG done and yes both tubes were blocked..so my options were IVF or Laproscopic surgery to try and unblock my tubes..My insurance doesnt cover any infertiltiy procedures but they did cover the surgery..I had the surgery 11\19\07...my RE was able to unblock my left tube but not my right...so now I have one good tube..the next month after the Lap we tried Injections + BD ,didnt work..we decided to take a few months off and try on our own...if it doesnt work then we will be doing IUI next.

I need gallbladder surgery in the near future. I have abdominal meshing and want to know if they can do laproscopic surgery on me or not. ANYONE have my issue?
