inguinal hernia surgery recovery time

i have ilight>surgeryilight> to repair a ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> within the next week. Needless to say, anyone who has experience this medical malfunction will agree that it brings with it the oddest but most intense pain that a person could experience in that region of the body. after many years with moderate, intermittent painful episodes...each lasting only a few days, i was "humbled" to say the least this past weekend when the lower intestine actually dropped into the scrotum.

This can be repaired through ilight>surgeryilight>. ilight>Recoveryilight> ilight>timeilight> varies depending on the size of the ilight>herniailight>, the technique used, age and presence of underlying medical condition. However, a hernia can recur up to several years after repair. i hope this helps.

is it normal to experience discomfort from ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> repair several months after surgery? i am 7 months out of surgery. i admit i do things like sing (which put pressure on the area) But is that the entire cause as to why i still experience discomfort from time to time? i notice if a twist, sleep on my side , or on my tummy and not on my back, this kind of provokes it.

i have read plenty of testimonies of those who suffered from scrotum/testicle pain after an ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> ilight>surgeryilight>. Many of you have described the symptoms that seemed so similar to mine, but seemingly you all wound up fine, or perhaps the same thing happened to you, but i'll never know, because the majority of testimonies are never followed up.

if so, what, realistically would be the treatment for it, i have heard ilight>surgeryilight>, what are the implications of this? what's the likely ilight>timeilight> in hospital/ilight>recoveryilight> limitations etc... Please help it's worrying me, and for a while has made me very insecure about myself in the bedroom... i need to get this sorted but i'm scared. Thanks..

Just had ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> ilight>surgeryilight> on my right side about 4 weeks ago. Everything was going fine and now i started having a lot of pain on the inside of my right leg and just a bit on my testicles.

i had a left ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> repaired via the open mesh procedure in December, 2009. i had post-operative pain that was significant starting in the recovery room. Doc had implanted a disposable pain pump device that was supposed to continuously infuse lidocaine via a catheter for a few days to relieve any discomfort. Was sent home from the hospital with a some lortab tablets for pain as well. That night, the lidocaine infuser failed and i was in terrible agony. The lortab pills did nothing.

Hi, almost three years ago i under went open surgery to have a mesh fitted over and ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> which i had for about 9 months previous. At he ilight>timeilight> of repair the ilight>herniailight> was quite large however the surgeon did not expect any poor outcomes. i was only supposed to be in surgery for 45mins or so but the operation lasted roughly 1h45mins i'm told and i was in recovery for another 1h30mins after this which was much longer than expected (i was never told why only everything went as planned).

i had open ilight>surgeryilight> to repair a minor tear in the ilight>inguinalilight> canal just over a year ago. my symptoms then were abdominal cramping, cold L testicle, and sharp testicle pain. The doctor used a small mesh to reinforce the hernia sack and inguinal canal. i recovered fairly quickly and had only minor pains normal for recovery. At about 2 months post surgery i started back working out, basketball, and working full time construction again.

i have been informed by my surgeon that if there is one ilight>herniailight> to get, this is the one bc it is the lest invasive and ilight>recoveryilight> ilight>timeilight> is quick. my question to the public here is this, what if they find that the hernia is bigger then originally anticipated and a larger incision must be made? is this possible? Might the recovery time be more then a week. How long typically will be ibe out of commission. can i ski in February if i choose to get the surgery in December.

Anyone have this before? How was pain after ilight>surgeryilight>? What was ilight>recoveryilight> like? Because i have a lot of pain in different places of my abdomen, is it possible to have more than one type hernia? i have a 4 month old and i was told i could not pick him up for a while afterwards, which really stinks. i am a SAHM, and just wondering how long i may need help. Thanks so much in advance for any responses.

after a bilateral ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> repair, i experienced onset of swelling and excruciating pain in my left testicle, and along the spermatic cord. i was assessed in an emergency, and given an ultrasound, diagnosed with epidiymitis and given a course of antibiotics for 7 days.

i'm writing about my fiance. He had an ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> ilight>surgeryilight> (open), back in February. Here we are, 7 months later, and he's still in debilitating pain. He has a triangle of pain on the side he was operated on. it goes from his belly button to his left testicle, to his left hip. He normally was a truck driver, and did auto body work in his free time. He has literally been on the couch or in bed for 7 months.

Hello Doctor. i recently underwent ilight>surgeryilight> to repair an ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> on my left side. Before the surgery i noticed every time i tightened my abdominal muscles my left testicle would rise about an inch or two from where it was hanging. i am concerned that this caused some type of problem with the actual testicle itself. it no longer feels like it is hanging correctly at all. it feels very vulnerable, even cold at times and has tingling sensations throughout the day.

i'm trying to determine if it's high or low in the groin area. i've had ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> ilight>surgeryilight> performed twice and on both sides with mesh installed on my right. i'd say that the surgical sites are up high, but i don't want the mesh to be disturbed.

Hello - i recently had an open ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> repair on 11/19. They did not use mesh because my tissue was so healthy, so it was repaired strictly with sutures. i'm going on my third week and feeling almost back to normal: i run a dog sitting/training business and am back to regularly walking and working with dogs (the ones that don't jump :). Yesterday i was walking two dogs down a hallway and they pulled after a cat.

i am interested to know if any of you who experienced your seromas eventually had them disappear? i had an ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight> repair about 8 months ago..

Had 2 ultrasounds, 1 cat scan and 3 drainages done...

my urologist concluded that the fluid came back because i had a right ilight>inguinalilight> ilight>herniailight>. ( The right testicle was now bigger than before the operation) i went to the Shouldice Hospital in Toronto, canada to have the hernia and hydrocele repaired. Their diagnosis determined that i did not have a right inguinal hernia, but just a hydrocele. They repaired the hydrocele and they also checked for a hernia because the doctor was very suprised that the initial repair did not work.

All of these procedures are relatively short in terms of operating room ilight>timeilight>. They should last less than an hour. The ilight>recoveryilight> ilight>timeilight> from this procedure is similar to a hernia repair lasting several weeks. Over all the success of these operations are all very good.
