Question 1

can degenerative disc cause pain  in the groin down to the thigh.how can it be treated. did ct scan no hernia?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Can cause that pain. Yes, degenerative disc disease if it's significant.  In your age, I'd consider being seen by a pain management doctor.  The pain could be from your sacroiliac ligaments or joint, and also a trigger point pain in your upper groin. Disc injury can also give that type of pain. Push and poke on and mark with a pen the specific areas you feel the pain origins and see a pain doctor

Question 2

what could cause pain in the groin down to the thigh on both sides. did ct scan no hernia. which specialist should i go to?

Accepted Answer

SEE SURGEON: CT SCAN WILL NOT SHOW HERNIA UNLESS YOU HAVE A PIECE OF YOUR INTESTINE STUCK IN THE HERNIA THE BEST WAY TO RULE OUT A HERNIA IS TO BE EXAMINED BY A SURGEON IF COULD NOT FIND A WEAKNESS OR A HERNIA MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND THE REASON FOR YOUR PAIN. MUSCLE BRUISING AND STRAINING COULD CAUSE SIMILAR PAIN.

APPLY WARM COMPRESSOR, AND TAKE IBUPROFEN TO SEE IF THAT WILL MAKE IT GOES AWAY

Question 3

mom's caregivers saw a bulge on right upper abdomen. urgent care doctor didn't see  but found hiatal hernia on ct scan. could hernia cause the bulge?

Accepted Answer

Hiatal hernia: This is a condition in which part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm muscle into the thoracic cavity.  You can not see this unless you have xray vision.  Many people have this, and the most common type is a sliding form.

Question 4

why do i need to get a ct scan for abdominal hernia?

Accepted Answer

To plan operation: Depending on what type of hernia, ct scans help the surgeon understand the type, location and size of hernia so he/she can plan appropriately.  The radiation dose should b less than a routine scan if the radiologist knows that a hernia is what the surgeon is looking for.

Question 5

groin pain on both sides above penis.have had 2 docs check-say no hernia.had ultrasound-found nothing.suggests possible ct scan.thinks no hernia.help?

Accepted Answer

Athletic pubalgia: can cause this and is seen in those who do running type exercise (usually). The tendons that insert on the pubic bone can become inflamed or thickened. If this fits the picture then MRI is the best choice for looking at the area.

Question 6

lump around navel. ct scan ruled out hernia but didnt show lump. ultrasound showed lump as asymmetric echogenic structure measuring 1.1 x 0.6 cm with associated shadowing in the subcutaneous tissues. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

"Navel lump" ?'s: In a male, a "lump" near the navel showing a "asymmetric echogenic structure" may simply represent herniation of peritoneal membrane through a defect which could evolve into a hernia containing bowel if enlarged or after strenuous exercise.  This should be followed by a surgical consult if enlargement is noted, to prevent problems from an intestinal hernia.

Question 7

what is most effective in diagnosing a hernia, ct scan or an mri?

Accepted Answer

Hernia: If you're referring to a groin or inguinal hernia, all you need to diagnose it is a physical examination. However it can be also diagnosed by ultrasound, ct scan or an mri if there's any doubt.

Question 8

had femorial hernia 12mo ago having same pain as before repair ct scan shows no recurring hernia will trigger point injection help or is it new hernia?

Accepted Answer

Femoral hernia: A recurrent femoral hernia will be hard to diagnose. The negative ct scan is reassuring, but not a guarantee.  You can try the injection. An ultrasound might also be helpful. Observation and follow up with your doc will be most important.

Question 9

i was diagnosed a possible non-protruding hernia -- ct scan or ultrasound, what to do?

Accepted Answer

CT: Although both ct and us can be used to evaluate a hernia, a ct provides much more detailed anatomic information.

Question 10

what could cause a round bulge in my right abdomin. it is not a hernia. ct scan come back negative for that.

Accepted Answer

What does your...: Doctor say? Ask your doctor who examined you and ordered the ct scan what it is that you are seeing. Sometimes small hernias are not seen on ct scan, but hernias seldom occur in the right abdominal wall. Lipoma is a fatty growth under the skin. Constipation can cause right colon enlargement & right lower abdomen fullness to come and go. Spigelian hernias are rare. Etc.
