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 Can those of you who also have a hiatus hernia, tell me if you have symptoms with a hiatus hernia and what are they? I do have symptoms at the moment but I have a few health issues going on at the same time and I just want to know if some (or all) of my symptoms relate to my hiatus hernia?
Avatar n tn My son age 21 has had problems with nausea and vomiting, GERD, a large hiatal hernia and IBS since he was a baby all of which exacerbated his Asthma. He also had a congenital heart defect, which was corrected when he was 12. He had stomach surgery when he was 13. The Dr. removed his gallbladder, had a NISSAN and a feeding tube. He was in the hospital for 2 months after his surgery while the Drs were trying to find out why he was vomiting so much.
341655 tn?1240368839 Often not treated if no symptoms are present. I did have symptoms. As I do now. My paraesophogeal hernia is considered medium size. They are more dangerous as they can strangle the stomach and cut off the blood supply. It is important that you are under doctors care. Lots of times we are all diagnosed with esophagitis and they have to clear that before surgery. It's an allergy in your esophagus but they don't know what causes it. Just thought I'd the information.
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 .
1147326 tn?1261627942 You may have a hernia, which is pretty common after abdominal surgery. My last CT scan noted that I now have a hernia. My doctor said I would need to get it taken care of when it started bothering, and I would need to go to the ER if I developed sudden severe pain. Glad you're feeling better now.
749700 tn?1234838207 They cannot find anything to show a hernia but I have had five hernia surgeries in the past, a small bowel obstruction repair, parathryoids removed, a mesh net put in place, a esophogeal repair. I am tired of this pain and it's getting worse, sunlight is bothering me along with noise and am tired all the time. Help!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar n tn I only experienced reflux during pregnancies, but recently had a violent bout of vomiting and have had reflux symptoms ever since then. MY only thought must be hiatal hernia ? Why is surgical repair of a hiatal hernia so last resort. Isn't there anyway that i could have my diaphragm tightened but not do the whole fundoplication thing? Also, is the LES being weakened the longer it sits in the wrong place.
Avatar n tn Hi My sister has just had surgery for a hiatus hernia (360 degree wrap) but is very distressed as no-one (even the hospital) seems to be able to tell her about an aftercare. i.e Diet, what she should be eating after however many days and what to expect etc. When will she be able to do normal things etc.. Can anyone help please,.....
Avatar n tn * Chest pain or pressure * Heartburn * Difficulty swallowing * Coughing * Belching * Hiccups * Pain: At times, a hiatal hernia causes chest pain or upper abdominal pain when the stomach becomes trapped above the diaphragm through the narrow esophageal hiatus. It also makes GERD worse. If you feel you may have a hiatal hernia, ask your doctor about either an EGD or a barium swallow test, both of which will show any structural anomalies. Good luck.
Avatar m tn (I'm a male in my late twenties.) About six months ago I got a surgery to fix a small umbilical hernia. For about half that time, I've felt like the hernia symptoms have returned: there's lots of discomfort and 'itchiness' at the site, especially when laying on my back or swimming, which is how I discovered the hernia in the first place. However, there is no visible lump or bulge that I can see this time, save for some toughness that my doctor identified as scar tissue.
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>.
Avatar n tn I posted a list of symptoms, and hiccups were on the list for Chiari symptoms.
Avatar m tn This is the second time that I had a HIDA scan and in one year I have gone from 30 down to 26. I have no stones and very little pain. I have an umbilical hernia which has to be repaired with mesh and they suggested that they remove the gallbladder at the same time. Problem is that I lost a foot of intestine several years ago to diverticulitis surgery and I am afraid that if they remove my gall bladder , I will be unable to hold rushing to bathroom after eating.
Avatar m tn I do not know ur history or how bad ur symptoms were to select surgery as an option....but I have heard many good things that a chiropractor can manipulate the hernia lower as to aleave many of the issues without surgical intervention....U need to decide with all the facts and I am sure u were offered all of them. I also have a hiatal hernia and understand ur fears.....I pray this all works for u. Please post an update.
Avatar f tn Hi , I had a hiatus hernia ( sliding) and am in recovery (4th month) after key hole surgery for repair to the hernia. I had the hiatus hernia for the 10 years and suffered all of your mentioned symptoms. It got to the point where I was getting hard stomach pains ( felt like I was punched in the stomach) and felt like I wanted to vomit. I took over my life and I was afraid of eating so many foods.
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.
Avatar m tn t even evuluate me for that, and honestly I am not prepared to have hernia surgery anyway (I hope hydrocele surgery is a bit easier to recover?). I was wondering, is it pointless to repair the hydrocele only if I have hernia on the same side? It is causing me some discomfort and problems, and I want to have it fixed.
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 My colleague at work had hiatal hernia and problem with the sphincter. He got surgery that I believe put a magnet at the sphincter and to fix his hiatal hernia. He's doing much better now.
