Hernia: It is a hernia, or protrusion of abdominal contents through a previous laparoscopic surgery access site. They can and should be repaired if symptomatic, as there is risk of incarceration (getting stuck) in these small hernias.

Question 4

Question 6

Question 7

i have an incisional hernia from my csection is it okay to go in pools and jacuzzi ?

Hernias: Yes, it is ok. If you have a fresh incision and the stitches are still holding the wound together, I would wait until the wound is healed and the stitches are out.

Question 8

how do i avoid making an incisional hernia worse?

Accepted Answer

Watch Your "Weight": Anything that increases abdominal pressure can accentuate the hernia. Therefore, obesity, heavy lifting, core exercises, chronic cough (smoking) are but a few factors that can worsen an incisional hernia. If you are otherwise in good health and are having symptoms from the hernia, surgery should be considered--please see a surgeon to get a formal evaluation, if you haven't already. Good luck!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Pain and lump: Usually discomfort and swelling or lump forms under the scar at the site of prior surgery. Physical examination with your doctor is the best place to start.

Question 10

has any one had incisional hernia after a cesarean?

Accepted Answer

Yes: An incisional hernia can occur following any abdominal surgery, although it is more likely with midline incisions.  Patient-factors that can contribute to hernia formation include obesity, poor nutrition, smoking, steroid use, and multiple prior operations.  Surgical repair is quite common and very effective.
