A member asked:

Gastroligist. i had surgery to repair hernias it feel like i still have issue with these. is this possible. extreme pain, loose bowel, constapati?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please clarify...: Have you been recently diagnosed with an incarcerated hernia and you think it was inadequately repaired or is back? If so, it may be worth a call to your surgeon. Your alternating diarrhea/constipation may however be something else entirely and warrant reevaluation by your gastroenterologist.
