how long can a man ignore if he is suffering from HERNIA? Is ther any alternative for Operation for the same?

the link below (*warning* *graphic images*) will show you just how long some people can delay getting medical care. \n\nit depends on what type of hernia you have (direct or indirect inguinal, umbilical, femoral, etc.) but there are repair operations for every type in which they repair the abdominal wall.

That's not normal nor is it something you should wait around to see if it gets better.  It might be a hernia which gets worse and can cause major other proplems if left untreated.

I think you mean a "hernia", is that right?  It's a tear in the fascia of the body which causes muscle or intestine to bulge out.  It's very uncomfortable and would be more pronounced if you do sit-ups.  It's not dangerous, but very annoying. \n\nThe only cure for this is a simple operation.  Hope that helped, dear.

Poor baby!! I'm afraid you're going to have to go bland for a while, until your system gets accustomed to the gall bladder being gone. The good news is that the rumbling & running will get better about a month or so after surgery. As far as grains go, they can cause excess gas so maybe cut back on those. Also, certain types of veggies, broccoli or cauliflower can cause upset. When you do yogurt, be sure you get the kind with active, live cultures in it. You might try toast & boiled eggs for breakfast, or even scrambled eggs as long as nothing greasy was used to cook them. Oddly enough, I can eat Mexican any time I want & not get sick, so it's going to be a trial & error thing for you for a bit after you heal. Apple sauce, jello, pudding, soups - nothing fatty or greasy. Sorta stick to the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, apple sauce & toast - it helps. Plus the yogurt!! I think you're on the right track, but it really does take 4 to 6 weeks for the rumbling to calm down. If it doesn't, a gastroenterologist can prescribe a medication you can use with your meals to help your system adjust. It's a powder you sprinkle on your food. Good luck & hang in there - it does get better!!

It's hiatal hernia, although some refer to it as hiatus hernia.  Surgery is usually unneccessary unless your symptoms worsen instead of getting better.\n\nJust follow the instructions (I hope) you were given:  If you're overweight, lose weight.  Take an OTC antacid according to the directions or per your doctor's instructions.  Eat 6 small meals throughout the day to keep your stomach from getting full.  Eat slowly and don't lie down for 2-3 hrs after eating.  Don't eat or drink 1-2 hrs. before bed.  No alcohol, caffeine, fatty foods, citrus or anything else that increases heartburn.  In bed, keep your head elevated above your stomach.  You can use pillows or place 6" blocks under the head of your bed.  Avoid bending over, especially after you eat.  Avoid straining during bowel movements, urination, lifting.  Don't wear tight clothing around your chest or stomach.  Don't smoke.\n\nNotify your doctor right away if your symptoms get worse instead of better or if you run a fever.  Have someone drive you to an ER/ED if you vomit repeatedly or vomit blood, or if you have chest pain with nausea, sweating or shortness of breath.

Well I hope you can hold out for more than a moment but there are some things you can try if you are having trouble staying on for the whole eight seconds (that's a rodeo joke) There are topical anesthetic creams that can dull the nerve endings in your johnson, but since it's such a sensitive area you should use some caution. I read about a guy who used a whole bunch of digitalis to numb his pee-pee and almost had a coronary because of it. There's also a constricting plastic ring that you put around the base of the shaft for more control, but that has risks too. Getting real good and drunk before the deed can both help and hurt. Talk to your doctor before trying anything drastic... maybe Viagra is the way to go.

Please see the web page for more details on Hernia repair. In some cases, hernia opration is not successful. Hence the same has to be done again.

As long as the hernia can be gently pressed back in, a person is pretty safe.  When the hernia is external (the bulge) and does not retract to normal, that is when there is a serious problem that will need medical attention.\n\nAs for the usual, inguinal for example, there are staps or belts that are made for holding it in, and a person can go on for even several years with no particular problems.\n\nAs long as you can continue your daily routines and do what you want with exercising, you are fine.  When the hernia starts to interfere, then it is a problem.  If the hernia becomes painful, that also is when it is a problem.

That is such a major surgery that i would be carefull taking any advice from the internet. It's not the common cold question. you should ask your physician who will probably make that determination based on your individual case. People heal at different rates. It probably wouldn't be wise to base your actions on someone elses experience. Especially not knowing their health background and such. I'm sure if you called your doctor tomorrow then he/she will be able to tell you.

Ladies can get hernias for the same reasons as men.. weakness in muscle wall.. often in the abdomen. After repair operation .. no heavy lifting for a few weeks until tissue is allowed to heal .. then increasing strain on affected area is encouraged to promote to full activity again.

OH MY GOD\n\nthose bring back possibly the worst short term pain memories of my life. I had the same problem. Two severe herniated discs. I went through a year of physical therapy, swimming, strong back muscles, no activity, lots of activity, braces, pills, basically anything you can think of. \n\nI went to the doctor at one point and said that I have two options. Surgery or epidural steroid injections. I took the ESI like anybody would and it was done in a rush after they got the doctor who performed this right before he left to go home. I dont know if this was normal but they only put 3 numbing needles. Then I easily went through the worst pain of my life. The needles into the epidural space are just immensly, undescribably painful. I was put in a wheelchair afterwards and then they said it will get better worse before it gets better. After 2 or 3 days it did get better to some extent, I could walk longer, stand longer, etc. In the end, the ESI did not work for me. They only served as an immense surge of pain. \n\n\nSince your husband already has 4 discs herniated, I would go for surgery. It is painless, quick, just so much better. I would much rather live a full life rather than a half life filled with steroid injections

about a week,(6-7 days) but forget about it after that

very painful, you might be referring to a in Inguinal hernia....\n\nBy far the most common hernias (up to 75% of all abdominal hernias) are the so-called inguinal hernias. For a thorough understanding of inguinal hernias, much insight is needed in the anatomy of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are further divided into the more common indirect inguinal hernia (2/3, depicted here), in which the inguinal canal is entered via a congenital weakness at its entrance (the internal inguinal ring), and the "direct" type (1/3), where the hernia contents push through a weak spot in the back wall of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are more common in men than women while femoral hernias are more common in women.\n\nWebMd.com does not list "duodenal" as a type of hernia.

You need to take complete rest. \n\nYou have already seen a doctor. You do need to see two different doctors, to rule out things.\n\nSee an urologist.\n\nSee a sports doctor it may be a muscle pain in the stomach area.\n\nYou  had an ultra sound, but another opinion is in order from a good general practitioner(see this one first).\n\nBut start with rest for a week or so. \n\nThere are over the counter creams for pain apply them only to stomach area.\n\nPossible check list.\n\nBladder.\nDid you lift any thing heavy. \nHernia, there are different kind. Did you have cough that started the pain if so have a check done for Hyatal hernia, a simple touch test by a doctor who knows how to check it, you should be sitting on a stool with your heels on the stool doctor will touch your stomach in different location, if your doctor has not done this then he is not aware of it, ask him a call will do. If he says he does not do it(does not believe in it, then he is not the doctor you want to see for this, if he says next time remind me, he is KO he just did not think about it. He was relying heavily on ultra sound.

That is up to your surgeon, not  you. Sorry. Give his nurse a call, she'll/he'll have the correct answer for you, not us, anyway,haha.
