Avatar f tn I was diagnoised in 1997 w/ breast cancer, bilateral masectomy/saline implants. I've had to have several implant replaced over the years along w/ surgeon dissatisfaction, so I was ref. to new surgeon & suggested tram surgery.
Avatar m tn My question is what will the recovery be like. I looked up the recovery for a gallbladder surgery and recovery for hiatal hernia repair and I think I am in for a lot of pain and weight loss. the weight loss I can take. But the pain I am not looking forward to. I will be home during the day by myself. Would I be able to take care of myself and what will the recovery be like. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
478868 tn?1209031705 I thought it was all due to the surgery. Guess not, she thinks I have an incisional hernia. I see my surgeon Thursday for further evaluation. Has anyone ever had this? I thought after the hysterectomy, removal of the malignant tumor, I was well on the road to recovery. What am I in for now?
Avatar m tn Anyway, I remember when I was young being very upset when I noticed one of my testicles appearing to be lower than the other, my dad told me it was normal so I ignored it and presumed it was normal, however when I got a bit older and learnt a bit more I kind of realised that it might not be so normal having a large lump of tissue behind my left testicle (painless and squishy).
354706 tn?1279470795 , the lump is growing too rapidly as you literally could see the lump growing. And whether it is hernia or cancer tumor, my mum should be very, very, very sick now with vomiting, nauseau, loss of appetite/weight and problem passing motion. But my mum looked extremely healthy and has no problem digesting her food! There are little signs to sort of gear towards recurrence of cancer like the elevated CA-125 and the 3 little 'suspicious nodules' and 'thickening at colon'.
1322711 tn?1278415855 I had gone to my doctor who sent me to ER thinking it was a hematoma from the surgery, tumor, or hernia. I had a CT scan done in ER and it showed up clean. Next step was my OBGYN who did an ultrasound. That came back clean. I was then sent to a GI doctor who did a colonoscopy and that also came back clean. I then went to a laparoscopy specialist who did not find anything either. I finally went to a general surgeon who also found nothing.
Avatar n tn Why has my hernia repair left a lump at the surgery site.
976897 tn?1379167602 Perhaps a hernia could be the cause, maybe a hiatal hernia? I know the Doctor will send me for an x-ray which will likely be inconclusive and recommend an echo. I will then have to wait for one of those for weeks.
415684 tn?1257329318 My mother had a mesh put during her initial debulking surgery and not due to a hernia problem. She developed a nodule at the site from which they drained fluid to diagnose her OVC. She is now 4 months post op but still feels lot of stretch internally at the mesh site. Other than that she has had no problems. She was even able to take IP chemo with this mesh inside.

Avatar n tn I recently had lapriscopic surgery. I now have a lump inside my belly button. It's hard, turning purple, and hurts. Could this be a hernia? Here is a picture of it?
Avatar m tn Hi. I am a 49 y/o female. Several weeks ago I noticed a soft movable lump in my right groin area. I have a history of a right inguinal hernia which was repaired appx. 27 years ago. My physician thought it not to be a recurring hernia but rather a enlarged lymph node and placed me on antibiotics and ordered a Ultrasound of the right groin. The ultrasound suggested it to be a complex cyst.
Avatar f tn There is no bulge in groin area to support hernia. Would a inguinal hernia cause a bulge in scrotum ?
Avatar m tn at the site, especially when laying on my back or swimming, which is how I discovered the hernia in the first place. However, there is no visible lump or bulge that I can see this time, save for some toughness that my doctor identified as scar tissue. My question is: can scar tissue mimic the sensations of a hernia? The fact that the hernia site feels so much like it did before my surgery concerns me.
Avatar n tn 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.
1330312 tn?1275341513 i was just wondering if anyone had any idea how long it is before you feel back to normal im on my second week of recovery i had surgery last mon 11th and i feel really rubbish this week .
Avatar n tn This can be repaired through surgery. Recovery time varies depending on the size of the hernia, 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.

Avatar f tn The doctors thought it was a hernia, but i had a hernia repair surgery only to find out there was no hernia. When i need to use the restroom, there is more pain, but usually it just feels uncomfortable, like there is a mass of something there that shouldn't be. It doesn't hurt more when i work out or if i eat something specific, a certain time of night or anything else; the pain and discomfort seem random to me.
438877 tn?1224357489 i had an open choly and 12 months later notice a lump at the incision site (6 inch) at the time it was a lump the size of 1/2 a small tangerine - but in the 11 months it took me to get surgical intervention (uk nhs waiting list) it had grown to the size of 1/2 a melon and was very uncomfortable - a large portion of intestine was through the muscle but was not entraped as the hole was so large - i went to the dr as it was not scar tissue (if i laid down on my back- the lump initially went, but i
Avatar n tn The hernia was movable and would pop in and out. (original hernia) This feels like a hard stationary lump. Is that what scar tissue feels like? No outward signs of this but can be felt with two fingers if you press down.
Avatar f tn have they checked his pancreas???? I had my gallbladder out, did ok for awhile, then had recurrent sxs. they figured out it was my panceas, which can cause the frequent fatty stools.

Avatar f tn Ok, not trying to alarm you, but I had that happen and it turned out to be a dvt...a blood clot. you may want to go to the er and have it checked. if it is a clot its nothing to play with, but if its not atleast youll have peace of mind.
Avatar f tn This was my second surgery (first... removal of ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids). My recent surgery was also to repair a small hernia and removing bowel adheshions (scar tissue). Both are believed to be a result of my first surgery - possibly returning to work and daily activity too soon. I have 2 questions? First, what is a recommend timeframe to resume daily activities (I.e.driving,etc.). My tentative return tobwork dare isn't until July. And...
Avatar f tn it is probably an inguinal hernia if there is a protruding lump...this can only be repaired with surgery but the surgery is very minor and you can go home the same day...
