A member asked:
Is it normal to still have pain after 7 or so months after umbilical hernia repair with mesh?

Rare.: Most people who undergo umbilical hernia repair are pain-free within a few months after surgery. However, extenuating factors may include the size of your hernia, the size of the mesh used, the nature of your activity after surgery, etc. The safest thing to do is to return to see your surgeon with your concerns.

No: At 7 months this should be healed completely. Follow up with your surgeon to be evaluated again.

Maybe: Some intermittent, mild discomfort is common, but more severe pain is not. Call your surgeon for a follow up exam.

No: Very mild discomfort at the site 7 months afterwards may be due to scar tissue. Any significant pain 7 months after surgery is not common. If there is a bulge there when you strain your abdominal muscles, then the hernia may have recurred (come back). You should see the surgeon again so he or she can evaluate the pain.
