operation

Avatar n tn Both that I did find indicated a fairly high frequency of appendicitis within 18 months of gallbladder removal. Hopefully, they are wrong, I have about 6 months to go.
Avatar f tn would they not know the extent of the cancer from initial tests that were done, or at least from the time of the operation itself? We are very concerned for him and would be grate for your opinion.
Avatar f tn Some times, mesenteric lymphadenitis infection may become severe, requiring the administration of antibiotics or even outright surgical operation to remove a section of diseased bowel plus the appendix. There are other illness that can mimmick mesenteric lymphadenitis, so it is important to obseve the child, sometimes in hospital. Even when she does not feel like eating, make sure she is drinking lots so she does not become dehydrated. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

Avatar n tn Unless the area is swollen and severely infected the tenderness may be noted when the skin is palpated. The pain of appendicitis is severe and may be influenced by movement and certain positions. I suggest immediate consult with your doctor.
Avatar f tn I don't think you'd get pain from masturbation like this. Can you check with your doctor? A really common cause of this kind of pain, especially for men, is Inguinal hernia. Hernias can feel just as you describe. Get it checked out.
Avatar m tn Bow legs or genu varum can be corrected in adults by surgical remodeling. The exact type of surgical technique would depend on the severity and the exact location of the defect. Temporarily orthotic devices may be used to provide symptomatic relief, though a permanent cure may require a surgery in adults. It would be best to consult an orthopedician for a detailed review and appropriate management.
Avatar m tn I live in Delaware. I had a Sphincter of Oddi operation last month. The doctor made a 12 mm cut. I am still having some pressure in the upper right abominal region and want all the pain to go away. Can your recommend another medical procedure that will completely stop this upper right abdominal pain? Will any other medical procedure get rid of this stupid disease? They also ballooned the biliary tubes.
Avatar n tn I am in my 19th week and got diagnosed with appendicitis 2 days ago. Did some labs and the results show I have inflammation going on. Am scheduled for an appendectomy and was told not to worry because precautions would be taken not hurt the baby. I was also informed that they would do some procedure to calm the baby down the night before the surgery. I am yet to know what kind of procedure it is they are talking about. My og/gyn is working with the surgeon on my case.
Avatar n tn Hi. Im 27weeks and having lots of pain in my side. Dr reckons it might be my appendix. Anyone have experience with having it taken out during pregnancy?.
Avatar f tn s side from gall bladder surgery looks to you sort of like an appendicitis scar, and demanding assurances from the person that they don't have appendicitis. (Which, is not contagious anyway. And if it had been an appendix surgery, the person would not have an appendix any longer anyway.) Decide if you like the girl and stop inventing mythical medical issues that just make you look paranoid to her and probably make her feel judged and like you think she is unclean.
Avatar m tn Every surgical operation has its risks depending on your age or if you have other comorbid conditions (hypertension, diabetes, stroke, etc). Complications include difficulty of breathing, heart problems, kidney problems during or after the operation, though these can be minimized with proper pre-operation evaluation (usually by an internist, or cardiologist).
Avatar f tn I understand your concern regarding this situation, but the best person to ask regarding this would be the person who will be operating on you. Any operation carries its own risk. May it be the risk of aggravating the pain or condition or developing complications such as infection of heart and lung problems. These risks can be present even at the hands of the most experienced surgeons. However, this risk should be balanced with the potential benefits that you could get from the operation.

If you have the valve replaced now, you are stuck with the artificial valves and surgical techniques that are available now. The technology is getting better all the time. You probably have been advised that you need to be monitored by a cardiologist from now on. Keep your appointments, so you will know when it is truly time.
Avatar n tn I cannot say whether your mother is cleared from a cardiac standpoint for an operation because I do not take care of adult patients; this will be up to her primary care physician as well as the anesthesiologist and the surgeon. I can say, though, that good cardiac surgical centers frequently perform cardiac surgery in patients much older than 60. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with India to be able to tell you the location of a good cardiac surgical center in Hyderabad.
Avatar n tn If the percentage is less than 29%, a surgical operation is at a high risk and a surgeon may not recommend an operation as the risk may exceed the benefit. Or the estimated dimensions of the heart may be insignificant, and your mom is relatively good health and the risk is minimal.
Avatar m tn hi i m 26 years old.before 10 month i got surgical operation of varicocele,bith side (grade 2).after operation in mt rt testis infection was seen .i took levoflox500 mg .now my both testis is shrinking while standing.if i lying on bed i do not feel pain..i am wearing tight underwear..i m feeling discomfort....
Avatar f tn But, surgical modalities may have some complications depending upon size of cyst. Before opting for surgical procedures, you should evaluate both the pros and cons with the help of a neurosurgeon. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn A few years ago I had a bowl operation (required because of severe ulcerative colitis) to completely remove my large intestine. I was left with a large scar along my lower abdomen / along my hips (suspected cause of problem), resulting in surgical damage to part of my reproductive organs. I now have an ileoanal pouch / J Pouch. Current Sexual Health: I still have full function in terms of erection and orgasm, however no sperm ejaculates.
Avatar n tn I have a 'dropped surgical clip' in front of my bladder and have a lot of pain like a kidney stone stuck in the ureter. I had a ct scan to look for a stone and if I hadn't gotten my own copy of the report I might never have known it was in there. The report said no stone, so I have to wonder if the clip is causing the pain. If you know someone in the medical field, find out if there's someone they can ask. I have several nurses in my family I'm going to ask.
Avatar m tn That surgery they said was from adhesions from an appendicitis operation he had in the sixties. His bowels did not work so they operated again and said he had a twisted bowel that they massaged. Now one year later these past two weeks he has been constipated and then had stomach pain nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Today he feels lots better but it worries me that now that his stomach is empty and he starts slowly introducing food he will just get sick again.
231441 tn?1333892766 Is it normal to be able to feel heart beat just to the left of the belly button? Can feel mine easily (though I never noticed it before). I've been having tummy pain, nausea for about 2 weeks now. I've been scaring myself by looking up things on internet and seems to be something that would be seen with aortic aneurism. Please tell me this is normal and I'm just imagining things. I don't have time to go see Dr. just now. I saw a dr.
Avatar n tn Since your bone surgery is extensive, it may take you around six months, at the very least, to recover from the operation. Even if your surgical wound has already healed, you will probably need a lot of physical therapy sessions to restore the function of your knee, and to reduce the pain. The fact that you're 62 also means that healing will be slower, compared to someone who is say, in his twenties or thirties, and had the same surgery.
Avatar m tn Your child will need to be followed by a cardiologist very early, including after birth, to determine the severity of the heart abnormality and then decide about timing of intervention. Fortunately the prognosis for surgical repair of both of these things is quite good.
