5447645 tn?1368180755 Were you able to discuss the surgical procedure for the hernia and non-functional testes? It is important that you manage the hernia also to prevent any complications in the future. Take care and do keep us posted.

Avatar m tn Hi, When I was a young man I had a similar condition that was eventually diagnosed as an inguinal hernia. This condition develops when a loop of intestines pushes through a weakened area of muscles and protrudes into the area of the scrotum. I would get swollen testicles and a dull throbbing ache in the scrotum and lower abdomen. I eventually needed surgery. The only way you can be sure is see a doctor.
Avatar n tn Which drugs are you referring to? Do you base this on a drug reference book or official drug information website? I have a sibling who has had multiple back surgeries, one was a discectomy, I believe (had a herniated disc dripping acid like substance on nerve/s) in the lumbar region. Later, had a fusion surgery. While they took pain killers, I don't recall complaints about burping from them.
Avatar f tn She has trouble swallowing and occasionally will have numbness in her legs. She was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia before Thanksgiving and underwent laparoscopic surgery just after Christmas to correct it. Anyways, around the time her hernia was diagnosed, we noticed extreme personality changes, mostly occurring at night, and after a few glasses of wine. Her affect would shift drastically, and her face and presentation would become very flat.
Avatar n tn So, you believe this is hydrocele? Have you been diagnosed by your doctor? Typically, once past infancy, it occurs due to inflammation or injury. Did you have a precipitating injury that you recall? You've been fully evaluated? You need to rule out tumor or hernia. It does go away on its own for many. How long has it been? Can you take an Nsaid or anti inflammatory to help? (like ibuprofen)? Do you have pain or is just visually bothering you?
Avatar m tn However of all the people I know with this condition I am the only one with hep. In fact as I recall I had the hernia fixed twice, the first time I had not been diagnosed with hep yet. Its not all that uncommon to have this type of hernia. You do need to have it fixed before it causes other trouble. From what I know of these ruptures, its not related to hep. I was born with it, and just got licky to have done something (work construction) and made it worse.
Avatar m tn Is this a result of surgery, the accident or both. I don’t understand how a car accident can cause a hernia.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn s taken Prevacid .. however, with a hiatal hernia you could be having reflux symptoms. Is your Dr suggesting surgery to correct it and/or the gallbladder? My child had not stones, too ... but symptoms with all labs except the HIDA being normal. Keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Anyway my question is has anyone had a surgery other than the nissen fundo to repair the hernia. I am interested in having mine fixed but do NOT want my stomach wrapped around my esophagus. I'd like for a surgeon to just go in and pull the stomach to its proper position and sew up the hole in the diaphram essentially returning everything to its natural order.
Avatar n tn Both were repaired during my surgery. I can speak to the hernia surgery, but of course mine was in conjunction with a complete hysterectomy. Because I had two hernias repaired, I woke up with a "binder" on. It is a large, thick, stretchy type of material that wraps around you and closes tightly with velcro. It started above my bellybutton and covered me all around to down below the hips.
1580703 tn?1651904887 The doctor examined me and found a groin hernia and I'm scheduled for surgery in sept. I think I want laproscopic but am I going to end up with permanent pain? will the mesh or non-tension method fail to stop the hernia from progressing? I think it's from the gym or coughing from this tracheotomy I'm getting this crippling nausea sometimes and sometimes protonix helps. is it from the hernia or diabetes or GERD? thanks!
Avatar m tn Have been on Plavix for 13 months and find I need Hernia surgery now as I am having having many problems due to the Hernia. What is the possibility of having surgery? If I have surgery is the Plavix stopped for a number of days and then resumed?
1103592 tn?1274753561 Any every have a hernia while pregnant? I was complaining the baby's head was so low it was hurting - saw my dr today & it turns out it's a hernia! Grrr- at least baby sounds great (got to hear her hiccups on doplar!). Guess I'll goggle hernias until my surgery consult in 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn 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.
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 .
341655 tn?1240368839 Yes. The surgery for a hiatal hernia is the Nissen Fundaplication, where a portion of the fundus is wrapped around the esophagus in the area of the lower esophageal sphincter. As for the type, 90% of all hiatal hernias are sliding hernias, not paraesophageal, so it's probably a sliding hiatal hernia that you have.
Avatar n tn I am very actrive, regularly engage in highly intense tennis and cycling up very steep mountain roads for long periods of time. I do not recall an injury per se, but do recall feeling something funny in my hip within tha past couple of weeks. The doctor compromised with me on going with a CT before doing the biopsy, I am wondering if you think this would weed out a possible strain or hernia, or if anything I am describing sounds like it could be related to my physical activity.
Avatar f tn I need gallbladder surgery in the near future. I have abdominal meshing and want to know if they can do laproscopic surgery on me or not. ANYONE have my issue?
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn 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?
