Question 1

what is the definition or description of: patent urachus repair?

Accepted Answer

See details: During fetal life, there is a connection between the umbilical cord and the dome of the bladder. It usually obliterates before or soon after birth. If it remains patent, one can have leakage of urine from the umbilicus or infections of the lower midline abdominal wall. Then the patent urachus should be removed and the dome of the bladder repaired via an infraumbilical or lower midline incision.

Question 2

1)can patent urachus suddenly occur out of the blue at age of 20 in men?2)can poking ur belly button punture a hole that lets urine leak out?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but is so rare: The urachus or its remnants goes away when one is a young baby. It is possible, but very rare, for a urachal cyst to remain and get diagnosed in adulthood. That can happen if the cyst gets infected and appears as lump under the belly button, maybe with some pain and pus discharge. The infected cyst can be treated and surgically removed. If someone has no cyst, poking his navel will not leak urine.

Question 3

does a belly button hernia cause the same pain as an inflamed urachus?

Accepted Answer

It could: It could.  However most times hernias are painless.
I would have it looked at.

Question 4

i have constant bloody puss excretions from umbilicus.  surgeon diagnosed patch on vetillo intestine tract and urachus at exploration.  is it possible?

Accepted Answer

See MD ASAP: You really need to see your doctor immediately. You are describing signs of infection and you dont want that to get worse. You will likely need treatment hopefully just with antibiotics but things can get bad so would not waste time seeing your surgeon.

Question 5

i had an anomaly of my urachus, i've been on cipro (ciprofloxacin) and anaprox for the last two days. my belly button doesn't hurt but i feel nautios. is it the cipro (ciprofloxacin)?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Many antibiotics can cause nausea in some patients. If you still have a urachus, and its causing problems, see a urologist to discuss the pros and cons of surgery to remove it. Hope this helps!

Question 6

what would the major symptoms of  a large patent forman ovale be?

Accepted Answer

Patent Foramen Ovale: According to Dr. Jonathan Marmur&gt; &quot; In approximately 25% of adults the foramen ovale does not seal over.&quot; In that situation when  pulmonary circulation pressure is elevated then the foramen ovale can open up. REF:  http://www.marmur.com/ASD-PFO.html  Most adults wtih a patent foramen Ovale don&#x27;t have any symptoms. However, it can increase risk for stroke. Please see this excellent fact sheet:

Question 7

please list patent foramen ovale symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Usually none: About 20% of all adults have pfo. Most people never have symptoms. Pagtent foramen ovale has been associated with cryptogenic stroke (a stroke thought to come from a small clot passing across the pfo from the right side of the heart to the left), migraine headaches, and decompression illness in scuba divers.

Question 8

what are the symptoms of patent foramen ovale?

Accepted Answer

Mostly asymptomatic: A patent foramen ovale is a common developmental anomaly and is usually asymptomatic, if there are no other cardiac abnormalities.  It does predispose the person to an uncommon event called paradoxical embolism where a venous embolus crosses over to the arterial side.

Question 9

i have been struggling for well over a yr  since open shoulder repairs, with now chronic pain and fatique, odd m.s.-like symptoms. can surg do this?

Accepted Answer

Not Likely: The symptoms sound serious enough that you should get a thorough evaluation. The symptoms don't sound like a post surgical syndrome, but possibly you contracted a chronic slow growing infection while in hospital. Mycoplasma is one candidate, and resistant strains have been found increasingly in hospitals. Get checked out.

Question 10

i had de quervain's surgery 6 years ago and have just recently seen recurring symptoms. the pain is almost unbareable. it keeps me up at night and i am unable to do routine daily activities like turn a doorknob. opening s jar of peanut butter almost reduc

Accepted Answer

DeQuervian's Disease: 34 year old woman with DeQuervian's stenosing tenosynovitis s/p decompression 6 years ago now with recurring symptoms. Rest and splint your thumb if possible, ice, NSAIDs. Immediately call your hand surgeon. It may be that one tendon was decompressed, your Abductor Pollicis Longus, but you have since developed symptoms in the Extensor Pollicis Brevis tendon sheath and need injection/decompression.
