5959600 tn?1377396574 My boyfriend had double hernia surgery in the beginning of February, it's going on September and just recently he's had swelling of the veins that go into his sac, he said its very painful and it's followed by lower abdominal pain. Could this be serious and is there a certain type of doctor he should see rather than a regular check up doctor at a clinic?
Avatar m tn It does sound like a hernia, which your Dr did say it was. I take it you have'nt been back to see him? If you need surgery you might want to think about getting it over with before or in case things get worse.
Avatar n tn I think so...if a hernia is big enough, I am sure that breathing problems. In fact, I know of a few people who had a large enough hernia to cause horrible breathing problems. It is good that you are looking into your options..I hope that you find answers soon.
Avatar m tn s had what she is referring to as food poisoning that she thinks she got from bad lettuce. she went to a surgeon yesterday [that did her hernia surgery when she was in elementary school]. He said it's def. not hernia, and thinks it might be an overactive thyroid. Any other thoughts out there about what it could possibly be? Could it possibly be colon cancer? She is a healthy 22 yr. old. Any need for concern?
Avatar m tn I continued to vomit up till the day of my surgery. After this type of surgery you can NO LONGER vomit....ever. Hoped it was the problem and fixed, several weeks after my surgery I began to have the most unbearable paid in my stomach and have figured out that it is my body wanting to throw up and I can't. I have severe nausia after ANYTHING goes into my belly and then the pain begins. I have lost over 40 pounds in a year. I cannot afford to loose another pound 5'6 and 108 lbs.

Avatar f tn Saw another doc today unrelated to surgery and she said it could be a hernia. She did a quick bedside ultra sound and said it is not fluid. What did yours turn out to be?
Avatar n tn Now, after the first surgery, it did not take long for the hernia to grow fast so the resolution was to take the hernia out, than the bulge grew back, she went back to the dr who than said it was her gallbladder and a hematoma, now the bulge is back just like the last time and growing, is this due to a blood defiency disease or is this fatal? I am really worried about her even though her dr knows about it and is nonchalant about it.
Avatar m tn 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 .
Avatar m tn Hello, Your doctors must be talking about hiatal hernia and gall bladder disease. A hiatal hernia is an anatomical abnormality in which part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm and up into the chest.Hiatal hernias are one of the very important causes of GERD(gastroesophageal reflux disease) which can be responsible for causing the severe pain that you are having in the left,arm,shoulder and back.Diagnosed by upper gastrointestinal x-ray or endoscopy.
Avatar n tn hi spiker i have severe copd and was rushed into hospital with pneumonia, they had to cut a hole in my throat and feed a breathing tube into it, i survived that operation no problems,so i am lying there with chronic copd a tempory trachea and serious pneumonia when i had terrible abdominal pains, it was discovered i had a strangulated hernia, which required a immediate operation or i would be dead in a couple of hours, the surgion said it was the biggest hernia tear he had ever come
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?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Why have you decided against bypass surgery? blockages of 90,99,90% are severe and he could end up with a lot of dead heart muscle, causing heart failure. If the hernia isn't causing major problems, I would leave it alone. In many cases surgery isn't a long term fix. Just coughing can cause the muscle to re-open and cause the hernia again. I have a small one and the recommendation was to leave it alone.
Avatar n tn A hydrocelectomy is typically performed on an outpatient basis with no special precautions required. The extent of the surgery depends on whether other problems are present. If the hydrocele is uncomplicated, the doctor makes an incision directly into the scrotum. After the canal between the abdominal cavity and the scrotum is repaired, the hydrocele sac is removed, fluid is removed from the scrotum, and the incision is closed with sutures.
Avatar m tn ve had a hydrocele surgery at the age of six, left side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 10, and a right side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 24. My right testicle have been attached closer to my body since my hydrocele surgery and I can clearly remember how uncomfortable it felt to have such an abnormal position of your testicle. After 20 years, I still feel some discomforting pains (on my right testicle) when exercising.

1666825 tn?1303252659 There is a manual manipulation of the hiatal hernia that may help to see if it is the hernia...at least b4 u consider surgery.....check around ur area for a chiropractor that specializes in this....but do have ur heart checked first to be sure there is nothing else going on, and that ur GI agrees.
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 f tn There are two minor problems that will require assessment or additional surgery if the pet is already spayed or neutered. These are umbilical hernia's and a recessed or immature vulva. If the pet has an umbilical hernia it can be repaired during the spay or neuter. If the pet is already spayed or neutered, repair of the hernia will require another surgery.
Avatar m tn My wife had the same problem you have to keep walking often during surgery the doctor puts a gas in the area to keep organs apart so the DR.

Avatar m tn Not all urologists do hernia surgery, but he can evaluate all the problems and advise about surgery and do surgery for the other issues if necessary. He will explain all your options and surgery would not be done on the day of the first visit. It's just a consultation.
Avatar m tn had hernia surgery in march ,hurt more now than before surgery,what the hell is going on?
Avatar f tn I am sorry to hear you have a hernia but at least you finally have answers to the pain you've been experiencing. I have not had a hernia (or don't think that is the cause of my occasional twinges of pain/discomfort) so cannot answer any questions about surgery. Hope all goes well!
Avatar f tn The only reason I had the surgery was to repair a very large hiatal hernia; my stomach had slipped up into my chest and I was having chest pain when I ate. I am wondering which is worse at this point.
Avatar m tn well,most hiatal hernias do not need surgery,and there are simple things to do to help if it bugs you,,,try elevating the head of your bed several inches,this keeps the stomach pushing downward,,and not from pushing up into the hernia. when it gives you pain,,try drinking a big glass of water,this often helps also. as far as a sliding hernia,ive NEVER heard of this before.,,though i am not a doc,,me and my father both have one,and i kinda know more then most on this subject.
Avatar m tn Yesterday I had an endoscopy done. They found that I have a large hiatal hernia. My follow up appointment isn't for 5 months. What I'm wondering is if they will recommend surgery to correct this?
