hernia surgery swelling

//bostonhernia.com/swelling-after-hernia-surgery This describes extra fluid, and why you get it after hernia surgery. I'm not sure it's exactly what you are feeling, but it may help explain things. Make sure you are following your post-op care instructions, too.

Now I face another surgery with this hernia. is this normal or common? What obligations or responsibility should my surgeon have? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/279945'>Had hernia repair after tummy tuck and doesn't look right.</a>.

Also, the fibrosis after surgery can cause the discomfort. But if there is a swelling or a bulge, you need to consult your doctor to rule out an infection or a recurrence or hernia. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I just had double hernia surgery and i am worried about my condition. I just want to know if my testicles are suppose to be swollen and bruised?

Bottom line I went into get gallbladder removed now I need OPEN Hernia surgery to repair inguinal hernia. (My internist agrees the gas probably pushed the hernia out. Painful bulge,burns sometimes, but seems to go back in when I sleep and pops out next day.) Can gas cause this and if my surgeon read prior scans (he didnt) what could have been done differently. I am sure I am not the first patient to have suffered from gas-induced hernia.

I had lap surgery on April11th. Had staples removed last week. I still have pain and swelling the size of a golfball on navel and below it. When I lie down,it goes down. No fever or redness present. Any ideas or anyone else have that too with this surgery? Thank you.

My boyfriend had double hernia surgery in the beginning of February, it's going on September and just recently he's had swelling of the veins that go into his sac, he said its very painful and it's followed by lower abdominal pain. Could this be serious and is there a certain type of doctor he should see rather than a regular check up doctor at a clinic?

I am a 21yo female, 5'4", 118 pounds. I'm gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant but other than some hay fever and asthma I'm a decently healthy person. I was diagnosed with a femoral hernia in October at the ER and was told that no surgeons would see me without insurance so I've just been trying my best to live with it. They told me it wasn't a very bad one though, so I should be fine so long as I didn't lift anything.

Three weeks after having a laparoscopic appendectomy I noticed some swelling and tenderness in my left groin. There was no bulge, but I told my doctor it felt like a hernia. He gave me an exam and told me that it was a small inguinal hernia. I scheduled the surgery to have it repaired, but while waiting to have that done I would occasionally have this discomfort on the upper-left side of my scrotum.

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 had hernia surgery 3 weeks ago in my abdomen and now I am experiencing pain and swelling to the right of the incision. There is so much pressure there and the area is rock hard. I called my surgeons office and they said it might be a fluid build up and to try a heating pad. The heating pad worked to reduce the swelling and pressure for the next two days, but does not seem to be working anymore.

I had inguinial hernia surgery on 12/10/2009 to the left side. Only thing I wonder so far is, if around the 6 inch incision, I should be swelled up as if I had a Bic lighter stiched up inside of me? Anyone else had this much swelling. Please humor me.

My Gynecologist thinks I have a hernia. I have a CT scheduled for Friday and a follow up on Tuesday to discuss results and the plan. It's looking like, either way, I'm having another surgery. If it's not a hernia and nothing else alarming shows up, they will assume it's scar tissue and likely to a laparscopy to look for and break up scar tissue/adhesions. Anyone out there have a hernia after surgery?

ve had a hydrocele surgery at the age of six, left side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 10, and a right side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 24. My right testicle have been attached closer to my body since my hydrocele surgery and I can clearly remember how uncomfortable it felt to have such an abnormal position of your testicle. After 20 years, I still feel some discomforting pains (on my right testicle) when exercising.

Hello, Scrotal swelling can be due to infections like epididymitis or orchitis, hydrocele, hernia, testicular torsion, varicocele or surgery in the genital area. You can provide support to the scrotum by wearing an athletic supporter, apply ice to the scrotum, take warm baths if there are signs of inflammation, while lying down, place a rolled towel under your scrotum or try over-the-counter pain relievers, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

I wonder if you have an inguinal hernia. Women can get hernias just like men, and when they do, the hernia contents can travel down into the labia. This can happen on one side, or both. If it is a hernia, it needs to be corrected from up above, near the groin and a general surgeon is the right man for the job. Similarly with the hydroceole of the canal of Nuck--they formed by the same process--a weakness in the abdominal wall. (I think you are VERY CLEVER for having figured that out!

I have a hiatus hernia which has moved and along with part of stomach has moved up into my chest and is pressing against my heart. Is this quite a common side effect and what is the normal treatment. ie an operation ?

I had open mesh left inguinal hernia surgery 8 days ago. My testicles have been dark purple ever since, but seem like they may FINALLY be beginning to improve a bit. I haven't had much testicular swelling, just tender and sensitive, but my left spermatic cord seems to be a bit swollen, and my testicles seem to be hanging in sort of a strange way.

Flow is still excellent but pain in the testicles and scrotum, as well as swelling between the perineum and urethra remains. I saw my doctor (who assisted with the surgery) 2 weeks ago about the pain and he said it was nut uncommon and could actually take up to a year for things to heal up. I wanted to get another opinion about the duration of this scrotal and testicular pain and its duration. Is it really possible that this could last a year?

I did have pain around my incision for a long time following my surgery. However, swelling did not increase after the surgery. My stomach was somewhat swollen after surgery and took a few months to completely go down, but the swelling never got worse during the healing process. If you do too much too soon, you do run the risk of delaying healing and even of getting a hernia. So, if it persists, I think you should call your doctor. Don't worry about overreacting.

Also, you may be advised to wear a scrotal support for a time after surgery. Ice packs applied to the scrotal area during the first 24 hours after surgery may help reduce swelling. It is pretty common to develop hydocele after an operation, like for a hernia. hope all goes well. good luck.

There are no doctors here, but I think you may have an inguinal hernia. A friend of mine had the same symptoms. He kept putting off a doctor visit due to plain embarrassment. That delay resulted in an emergency surgery to resect the dead bowel that had strangulated in the hernia. Don't do any heavy lifting and definitely go see your doctor!

After I had open inguinal hernia surgery the left side under the incision became numb and is still part numb after two weeks. But the left testicle has become enlarged has not gone down. Could their be something gonig on other than post op swelling?
