It's been a week since imbilical hernia surgery and my belly button is black with a foul odor. what to do?
I was operated on for an inguinal hernia repair, left side, in 1994. Shortly after my surgery, I developed an infection in the wound. There was a big pimple like thing that had to be cut with a scissor and then pus had to be squeezed out of the wound. The doctors said there was nothing further to worry about.
Over the years my complains didn't go away. In year 2004 another surgeon determined that I had to go in for a second round surgery in the same spot.
I have had a large abdominal hernia since last year after having some surgery. I went to see a surgeon about it in December 2011, he said that I needed alot of mesh with the repair as I have had several abdominal surgeries and he thinks it best to reinforce some of my abdominal walls.
I am a little hesitant about the mesh as I have heard some horror stories about developing infection from the mesh.
What do you think?
Going in for surgery Nov17'08. The total hysterectomy, hernia and sling will be performed. I am very nervous after reviewing this site and the "horror" stories told. I have fibroids pressing against the badder, which is now, poorly distended, a overly large uterus ,as well as a hernia. I have a calcified kidney stone"which is being "guarded".
Yes, I think a hernia can go into the scrotum. Hernia pain can also come and go.

If the pet is already spayed or neutered, repair of the hernia will require another surgery. Or, if a female has a recessed or immature vaginal area it is best to wait until the vaginal area matures before spaying to help avoid urinary and vaginal infection problems. This problem cannot be assessed if the pet is already spayed early.
Hello,
Redness, swelling and inflammation at the site of stitches of surgery means an infection of the area. First of all get this checked from your surgeon and you may need a course of topical and oral antibiotics. If there is any fluid or pus collection inside the scrotal sacs then it may need to be drained.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
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.
My 3yr son gets Tonsillitis infection very often it starts this year with one episod every two month and then it increases until now he get two episod of Tonsillitis every month.
ENT specialest suggest tonsillectomy but the problem is that he have Inguinal hernia too, which also require surgery and maybe more important than tonsillectomy. so the tonsils my have to wait for now.
Well, if something went wrong with the surgery it might. I'm not an expert on hernia surgery, but if there was a complication, it might cause an infection.
I mean, do the blood test for herpes, but make sure it's an IgG, not an IgM. At least rule it out, I guess. It won't tell you that it's causing your symptoms. Herpes doesn't cause cramping, though.
Ask the urologist for an ultrasound at least.
I have sharp abdominal pain to the right of my abdomen about 3 fingers width. It has been there for months and I mainly feel it upon touch. Lately I've felt bloated. I saw an obgyn and ovaries and uterus have been ruled out. My pcp wants to send me for a CT scan of the abdomen. Is she thinkining hiatal hernia possibly caught early?? I am thin, don't always eat the best, not pregnant (my son is 8) . She says its in the area of the ileocecal valve.
Is it possible that this is shingles? My doctor says I have a hernia, but he only asked me some questions and poked at me a little. He ignored the rash.
My operation for the hernia is scheduled for next week, but I don't want to get cut open if it's not really a hernia.
Was on Rapamune (5mg a day) prior to hernia surgery and then week before hernia surgery was put on Prograf (4mg a day) and taken off the Rapamune. I have been on Progaf since hernia surgery (8 weeks ago). Due to high billirubin reading of 28, I have been put on one Rapamune pill a day. I never had such a high reading prior to being put on Prograf, I'm going into hospital tomorrow for moderate rejection. Sine I'm on 4mg of Prograf and 1mg of Rapmune a day, could I be over medicated?
It could be a hernia. I had a similiar lump in 2001 on my left side. Thought it was something wrong with my ovary and went to my ob/gyn and she diagnosed a hernia and sent me to a surgeon and sure enough it was a hernia. I had outpatient surgery to fix the problem and I have had no problems since. I would advise going to the doc an having them check it out.
Also, I have to decide whether to go ahead with the hernia surgery. Seeing now that she has this heart condition I am a bit hesitant. The cardiologist told me that she could ahead with the hernia surgery and advised me about antibiotics and I have to revisit in 3 months time. My daughter was hospitalized on two occasions before and that condition was not detected.
t want to have breast implants and then revisit in 10 yrs. After my first surgery, I contracted a very bad infection in the incision, they have to clean up the area multiple times; from April to August 2010, and left it open wound for a space of three weeks.. They closed the incision again, and after that I had my first hernia surgery on September 2010. After that one, I had every year after, a hernia repair surgery and waiting at this moment for the decision of a new one.
