What are the chances of getting a hernia after non invasive surgery?

---

I am 30 years old and just had an endimetrial ablation. I am taking antibiotics for infection I got after wards but today I woke up with a hard lump under my belly button it is tender but not terrible.. Could it be a hernia? Any body have similar situation?
The only person that can advise you about this is your gynecologist that did the surgery. Since you're already having post surgical problems with this then please see her asap to find out the cause of this new problem too. Try calling the office first thing in the morning to see if it's open. If not, then if this lump gets worse, or you start to have any more symptoms then have someone you to the ER for an evaluation. Good luck and God Bless

What are the consequences of pushing a hernia back in?

---

My grandfather has had a hernia on both sides for the past 10 years. He simply pushes it back in when it pops out. Does this require immediate surgery?
No, not at all. A hernia which can be pushed back in is a "reducible" hernia. People can live permanently with these, especially if they wear an effective hernia support garment.

A hernia only needs immediate surgery if it can't go back in and becomes trapped so tightly by the abdominal muscles that the blood supply is cut off. This is known as a strangulated hernia and is an emergency situation, requiring surgery within hours. The warning symptoms include nausea/vomiting, a steady pain that gradually gets worse, swelling, pain when the hernia is touched, and red skin around the hernia. You may also feel bloated and full if it is causing a bowel obstruction.  (+ info)

What are the symtomes of a inguinal hernia?

---

I think I have a inguinal hernia. And i would like to know the symptoms and what cause is them? Also i would like to know what can happen if untreated?
The earliest symptom of an inguinal hernia is a feeling of outward pressure ,or a dragging sensation, in the inguinal region while standing, coughing or straining. Even no symptoms may be present. In the case of a male such a feeling may be felt in the region of the scrotum.
The appearance of a lump while coughing or straining is usually a later sign.
An inguinal hernia commonly occurs through a naturally occuring weak spot in the abdominal musculature.
This weak spot is due to failure of complete closing of the abdominal wall after birth. Through this opening part of the intestine starts bulging .
Undue straining , cough, weight lifting, malnourishment obesity and lack of tone of the abdominal muscles can contribute to the formation of inguinal hernias.  (+ info)

How long a stay in Hospital?

My hernia has developed from the weakened tissue around my scar after a Total Abdominal Hysterectony last March.
Hi, Depending on the weakened tissue and if there is any tear, Yours could be a day operation as was mine. Please adhere to what the hospital advise on your discharge. If they say not to lift anything for up to 2 months then don't do it, you need to heal inside as well as outside. You may feel sore inside for up to six months may be longer, but don't worry about this. If you are unsure just don't lift anything heavy till you feel confident about it, use common sense.   (+ info)

Once an inguinal hernia is repaired is there a chance it can recur or is it closed off somehow?

---

Just wondering as our son had a hernia at 2 months of age in the left inguinal canal and now at 18 months he has herniated on the right side and has to have surgery again...Will this fix it so it doesnt recur or is their a chance for reccurance after its been repaired?
Thank you.
It seems that the baby is likely to get hernias, and being so young who can assure this will not happen again. I would ask the same doctor who operated on him what is the prognosis and what precautions could you take.

Best wishes.  (+ info)

How long does it take to recover from hernia surgery?

---

I play high school football and just suffered a hernia injury. I don't know for sure yet but it will probably require surgery. About how long will it take for me to recover and be able to practice again?
Usually a few weeks. The length of the restriction depends on the activity. Walking is fine the same day, but strenuous activities like football may have to wait for several weeks. The severity of the hernia is also important: a bad hernia takes more surgery to fix and requires more recuperation than a very mild hernia.

Surgery is the only way to fix a hernia. However, if it's very mild, sometimes surgery can be skipped, until and unless it gets worse. And mild hernias are very easy to fix: you go into outpatient surgery in the morning and go home at noon. But you still need to hold off from strenuous activity for a few weeks.  (+ info)

What is a hernia and what can you do about it?

---

How active can you be if you think you have a hernia? For how long?
i had a double inguinal hernia..myth that women cannot get them is false!..mine was not too severe but surgery is the only way to repair them..they dont just go away!...at first it's intestinal fat oozing thru the abdominal wall (it feels like you squish a handful of lumpy jello thru your fist!)..if the hernia rips more, then your intestine is what 'leaks out the hole' and can become enstrangled which will require emergency surgery....

if you can 'push' and force the 'jello' thru the hernia, then you really should get it checked out before it becomes an emergency.

you'll be looking at 4-6 weeks off work/school and you'll have to be careful to not lift or strain in anyway..walking is about the only thing you will be allowed to perform and that will be hard to handle in itself!..trust me!....suggest your surgeon to insert mesh to prevent any future re-injury.  (+ info)
