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 n tn Coupled with that, there seems to be overwhelming incidences of negative effects from the sling (mesh erosion, mesh migration, too tight, too loose, urge incontinence, infection, recurrent UTI's). To me, the risks outweigh the benefits. However, I am still interested in an obtaining a/p repair. My only concern is that I exercise daily, I do weight training 3x's a week and cardio everyday. I understand my exercise will be severely limited while I'm healing from the a/p repair.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn This one product represented a tiny fraction of the mesh hernia repairs that have been done. There are now many variations and even mesh made from biological material such that surgeons can choose the ideal mesh for each situation. Risks such as infection are quite low. The best time to repair a hernia is when it is found.
Avatar f tn Laparoscopic hernia repair involves the placement of a mesh inside the abdomen without abdominal wall reconstruction. The mesh is fixed with sutures, staples, or tacks. The recurrence rate of the laparoscopic repair is reported as equal or less than that done with the open approach. So, discuss the possibilities with your doctor. Regards.

Everything was normal, after 3 days of surgery, i found out that there is rashes with itching all over body.

Avatar m tn Gastric bypass 2012, lap chole 2013, exploratory lap 2014, panniculectomy 2015, ventral hernia repair 2015, mesh removal from hernia repair with exp lap 2016, and recently open epigastric incisional hernia repair 2/21/2017. I am one month post op from recent surgery. Immediately upon opening my eyes from surgery I knew something was different. I had extreme pain, more pain then I've had with any surgery I've had.
Avatar m tn Hiatal Hernia repair - recently I had surgery to repair a Paraoesophageal hernia. The following notes were written by the surgeon whom has moved to an unknown hospital and I can not contact. I am wondering if you can tell me whether or not the surgeon has used a mesh in the repair or simply just sutured it. He writes - Two 2-0 Prolene sutures to close diaphram with pledgets. One suture anteriorly. Snug closure over 52 Fr bougie. Redo 360 wrap with three 2-0 Novafil sutures. Hemostatis intact.
Avatar m tn A second exploratory surgery was performed to see if the femoral nerve was entrapped in any way with the mesh from the hernia surgery. The nerve appeared free from the mesh. I have had every nerve block available in my spine, in my pelvic region, and in my testicle. I have been on pain medication for over two years and have tried several nerve medications, (Nuerotin and Lyrica) to no avail. I am getting to the end of my rope with pain and options for treatment.
Avatar f tn t use it you lose it-important to continue to do Kegel maintenance even after repair is done. (This would relate to leakage not mesh migration.) Please consult with a physician on your mesh concerns to find out if you actually do have mesh poking through tissues. It is important to follow up on this for resolution.
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?
415684 tn?1257329318 My mother had a mesh put during her initial debulking surgery and not due to a hernia problem. She developed a nodule at the site from which they drained fluid to diagnose her OVC. She is now 4 months post op but still feels lot of stretch internally at the mesh site. Other than that she has had no problems. She was even able to take IP chemo with this mesh inside.
Avatar f tn over 15 yrs ago I had a double mastectomy followed by a tram flap, they used a mesh to keep my core strong, now I have a herniated belly button, it oozes out fluid, scabs up, then falls off, then it starts all over again, my stomach hurts constantly, when I go to even use my muscles to pull myself up out of bed my stomach spasms, it hurts on a daily basis, one side of my stomach is lopsided, like its sticking out, my stomach used to be flat, now its rounded, hard and distended, my doctor says I
Avatar m tn In August I had a second traditional open surgery for the same hernia...During the winter it also failed..I am wondering whether to try surgery again with all the misery and difficulty or try to live with it with a truss..The surgeon insists that this has not happened in 500 such operations and that additional surgery will require considerably more work and methods due to all the mesh involved. I am very active and need input...Please offer suggestions....
7929968 tn?1395492362 I had a umbilical hernia repair 4 weeks ago using mesh. since then im worse then ever. I have kept a u.t.i and have a seroma as well. Now i have developed a crazy burn like rash inside and around my belly button. It started out as just some small bumps, then a old scar started bubbling up getting red and burning at my belly button. Now its inside it and about 3inches all the way around giving me severe pain. Kinda feels like having a third degree burn. My doctor is no help an thinks im crazy.
1577722 tn?1310624684 t really feel it but that was typical of a c-section hernia. I am due to have surgery in March. After being told about my hernia I have been afraid to workout and gained 60 lbs. I would like to get fit again and do crunches and pretty much everything else. I'm scared that I will make the hernia worse. It doesn't stick out and only hurts when I lay a certain way.
478868 tn?1209031705 I also had many other complications but they had to do an emergency surgery to repair it...I know the mesh Laney is talking about because I had that mesh under my original incision but from the constant nausea and dry heaves is what caused this to happen...but in your case they will most likely repair it as an outpatient surgery.....Good Luck and please keep us posted....
Avatar n tn my hernia surgery was open type with no mesh used.
Avatar m tn At times I still experience pain at the hernia site. They used mesh to repair the hernia. This mesh feels like a hard service, much harder than the left side in which I had an orchiectomy in 2000. Just recently in 2009 I came down with an abscess on top of the hernia scar. They thought that this could have been due to having a suprapubic catheter in. Even after the abscess was drained (basicaly cut open and left to drain) I still experience discomfort in that region from time to time.
Avatar f tn I herniated my incision while in the hospital. So I now have no abdominal wall left and just mesh, after two hernia operations. I have mesh from under my rib cage the entire way down and the whole way across. My stomach has now herniated the mesh and in a CT scan my bowel is herniated, not strangulated though. They said because it goes back in. I am in constant pain and my doctors here act like I shouldn't be. I don't understand it...
Avatar f tn (There is a small % of women who react to the mesh itself with POP procedures just as there are with hernia surgeries.) The biologic mesh may hold up a tiny bit better than stiches alone but not by much from the feedback I've heard. I'm sure there will more studies on biologic mesh and maybe at some point they'll marry both types of mesh to get the best of both worlds.
Avatar n tn It is rare to do an umbilical hernia without mesh these days, unless it is a tiny hernia. While unlikely, after all this time, it could be an infection of the repair. It is also very possible that it is an infection completely unrelated to the surgery, but either way it should be checked out.
Avatar f tn after my boyfriend had hernia surgery the Dr used mesh to cover the hole there is pinching and pulling on the left side where the hernia was, his surgery was July 29th, he still sleeps on the couch This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Hernia-complications/show/1460067">Hernia complications</a>.
1257808 tn?1322762215 I had an inguinal hernia. Got out of surgery around 14 days ago. I had an open mesh repair. I have documented my surgery and recovery here: www.myhernia.co.
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 I had a left inguinal hernia surgery with mesh 15 months ago. After the surgery everything was ok. But after 10 months i experienced neuropatic groin pain just before and during ejaculation. This happened every ejaculation. Burning sensetion in the groin area contuniues 10 hours. It turned to chronic pain. If no ejqculation takes places, no pain. I read several papers about subject. The complication is dsyejaculation. Dr. Robert Bendavit first recognize this in 1992.
Avatar f tn I had hernia surgery a year ago, not too long after the surgery i realized that it was back. I didn't think anything about it, but the past month I have had really bad pain, worse pain than when I got it fixed the first time. The doctor just used permanent sutures the first time, is there any way that I could have this surgery without having to have the mesh screen put in this time? Also, my abdominal muscles are separated pretty bad, could I ask the general surgeon about diastasis repair?
Avatar f tn I wanted to know what was the max I can lift before it is considered to heavy if I just had surgery last month for a canalope size hernia removed that was a lower hernia by my growing area that was fixed by mesh?
