Question 1

i have pain in my abdominal hernia, and its also shooting pain to my testicles and urethra. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Groin hernia?: If you have an inguinal (groin) hernia, then yes a person can have nerve pains that radiate into the testicle area. I am not aware of any association with a hernia ; urethra pain. See your doctor for an exam ; discuss hernia repair surgery.

Question 2

why is gas painful after incarcerated abd wall hernia?

Accepted Answer

Gas: If you have an incarcerated hernia, gas gets trapped in the incarcerated loop and applies pressure on the walls. This may cause pain. Also, an incarcerated bowel's blood supply gets compromised and that adds up to the pain.

Question 3

the pain i said was hurting from my incarcerated abd wall hernia is also  hurting my vigina. what's up with that?

Accepted Answer

Hernia: incarcerated abdominal wall hernia needs to be repaired specially if it is causing pain
the pain in the vagina could be related if your hernia is in the lower part of the abdomen
make sure you doctor referred you to a surgeon

Question 4

can pig abdomen wall or some other part be used in some way 2 repair hernias instead of artificial mesh which creates so many problems and recurrence?

Accepted Answer

Ask about ADM: Acellular dermal matrixes ("adm") are exactly the biomaterials that you are asking about.  There are a number of types, including ones sourced from pigs.  And yes, they can be used in hernia repairs.  Speak to your local general surgeon about this option.

Question 5

i have painful gas after incarcerated abd wall  hernia?

Accepted Answer

Please clarify...: Have you been recently diagnosed with an incarcerated hernia (if so, get it fixed ASAP), has your hernia recently been repaired (if so, call your surgeon). Please refer to our other HealthTap answers regarding contributants to gassiness.

Question 6

if major surgeries have been done and wall hernia is found then which is better laproscopic or open surgery?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Usually this depends on the size of the hernia, the amount of adhesions, and the type of repair needed (prior mesh? Need more? Prior failed repairs?). All of these questions need to be addressed by your surgeon prior to surgery. If it can be done laparoscopically that would be an easier recovery for you, but again, ask your surgeon.

Question 7

will a bulge from an ab wall hernia stay out or go back in. it has happened 2 times.  can silent reflux have played a roll in having a hernia.

Accepted Answer

Yes abdominal hernia: Can go back in (reducible) or remain outside (irreducible). Acid reflux won't cause or contribute to abdominal/ventral hernia formation. However hiatal hernia (part of the stomach is pulled up into the chest cavity) may cause acid reflux.

Question 8

what is the difference between a weak spot in the abdomen wall and a hernia?

Accepted Answer

Matter of degree: A weak spot in the abdominal wall is on its way to becoming a hernia. Sometimes this happens suddenly and sometimes gradually.

Question 9

why am i still having stomachs pain after wall hernia above my belly button?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: If the pain is directly over the hernia, it is likely related to the hernia, and you should see a general surgeon for a consultation. If the hernia was repaired, and that's where the pain is, it should gradually improve over the course of 2-6 weeks depending on the type of repair and your response to operation. Hope this helps!

Question 10

are there exercises which strengthens the abdominal wall and which can help against developing a hernia in first place?

Accepted Answer

No guarantee : Core strengthening exercises as practiced in pillates and yogs will generally strengthen the abdominal wall without exacerbating existing hernias if performed correctly. Any other exercises which require you to bear down and create excessive intra-abdominal pressure are more likely to aggravate an existing hernia.
