So my now 2 year old was born with an inguinal hernia in his scrotum. He had surgery at 6 months for this and all was fine but I’ve noticed he hates it when I touch his penis to clean his nappy and screams etc. His penis is always floppy never hard or standing up whereas his brother who is 3 has had erect penis since before he was 2. I’m just wondering is this normal?
Basically I need to reduce this valve between the stomach and the oesophagus from my last endoscopy made the 27/06/2009 it was 1,5cm of diameter I don't know now, for me it doesn't matter how,
yes I know already all this kind of methods you wrote down
thank you so much again
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac surrounding a testicle that results in swelling of the scrotum, the loose bag of skin underneath the penis. About one in 10 male infants has a hydrocele at birth, but most hydroceles disappear without treatment within the first year of life. Additionally, men — usually older than 40 — can develop a hydrocele due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum.
Hydroceles usually aren't painful. Typically not harmful, hydroceles may require no treatment.
I have been experiencing pain on my left side for over a month now. Mostly in the abdominal area but sometimes in my back as well. I went to the doctor and the said it could be my kidneys because I don't drink enough water. Well I've been drinking 80oz. of water a day. Someone advised me that it may be a hernia. I sometimes have a slight dull discomfort in my groin area as well. It's on my left side as well.
My husband had the surgery many years ago and he did just fine. You will have to take it easy for awhile though. Depending on how extensive the hernia is, I would'nt be too surprised if they do the surgery out patient. Of course you'll receive pains meds and the Dr will send you home with a script for pain meds.
It could be an umbilical hernia. Those usually happen in infants but adults have this especially if they gain weight or are obese. They may be sore from time to time but usually don't have many symptoms. Tell your doctor about it at your last physical as they can have complications of strangulation. This would be happening if it all of a sudden became very painful.

I had no pain or anything but they can be serious..
Keep me posted!
I have been dealing with a, what the doctor says, is a small sliding hiatal hernia found via endoscopy. I feel like the hernia is much larger than the 2cm he saw on the scope. They make you fast 24 hours before scope which tends to make the hernia "slide" down. Anyway, I have learned self adjustment techniques that help push the stomach back down. It doesn't last long on me but helps. The acid burn is control well via Nexium.
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.
Hi, it depends on the extent of meshing that needs to be done. Laparoscopic hernia repair involves the placement of a mesh inside the abdomen without abdominal wall reconstruction. The mesh is fixed with sutures, staples, or tacks. The recurrence rate of the laparoscopic repair is reported as equal or less than that done with the open approach. So, discuss the possibilities with your doctor. Regards.
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!
I am a 24 year old male who had inguinal hernia repair on left side 3 years ago. Weeks after surgery I as well returned to my surgeon complaining about my right testicle not hanging as low or where it use to hang. He said don't worry about it and to workout, run, do whatever I want at 100%. Well off and on over the past years I get pain in my right testicle still. Any pressure over my surgery repair, and I can feel pain in my right testicle.
A male lower abdominal hernia? I am no doctor, paramedic and I am no longer a combat lifesaver. I work around a lot of steel. At times I have to hand pull 400 foot lengths of cable threw that steel. The big cables weigh in at least 5 pounds per foot. So a lot of people around me tend to get a hernia in the same place amoungst all the other straining injuries. I have also got a straining injury myself, from not wearing the proper underwear of all things.
Does this mean surgery failed? is hernia back (now they are referring to this as a paraesophageal hernia) The doctors never told us herina might be back so I am wondering when I see x-ray report and it shos Pre-demonstartion of hernia, does that mean there is a new issue or they are seeing repaired hernia?
is it typical that Nissen wrap would slip so soon after surgery?
Looks like a pocket of pus. I would recommend reconsulting the physician who did the LS (Laparoscopic Surgery).
