you can't, surgery is the only option. also its important you get it re-done, by open procedure this time, or it may strangulate.

It is possible, but I really doubt it.  Lumbar surgeries are done with the patient on their stomach, and the surgeon cuts into the back.  Inguinal hernias are caused by loops of the small intestine pushing their way through the inginal canal, which consists of layers of tough connective tissue in the lower abdomen, which is on the front of the body.  Unless the surgeon happened to miss by about 10 inches and make cuts into your anterior abdomen, it wouldn't cause inginal hernias.

I don't think the two things are related. The bellybutton has to be from something else, maybe you got poked with something while you were sleeping?  I had my gallbladder out with the laproscopic surgery 12 years ago and it was really, really easy.  I felt great right afterwards, almost no pain.  My only regret was that I waited too long to have the surgery because I was afraid and suffered alot of painful attacks! Good luck to you.

Maybe you should check it out w/ the Dr. make sure you don't have an infection or pulled something.  My sister-in-law had one and she recommends wearing a girdle to hold your belly while you are recovering.

I work in the healthcare field, so listen up.  Your condition may be associated with either too tight a skin or underlying tissue of the abdomen above the penis, or from a muscular condition.  You didn't say whether you work out a lot, so I can't be more specific.  If it's painful, for your sake, SEE A DOCTOR!!.  If it's just a nuisance, if I was you, I'd still get a doctor's opinion.

That is a pretty serious condition.  What you should do is go to your search bar and type in "hydrocele".  First, research all that you can about your condition and the type of hydrocele that you have.  I belive it is classified into 3 different types.  Then, in your search bar, type in "alternative treatments for hydrocele" and research the different alternative methods to treat hydrocele.  From there you might be able to make a well informed decision on what you want to do.  Remember, the more informed that you are the better decision you can make for yourself and your health.  Good Luck!

My husband did the same thing.  Without surgery it will probably never look or feel the same.  He has this huge knot now and the doctor told him that it would never go away.\nIf you want to have yours fixed you need to see a doctor that specializes in hand surgery.

Yes it sounds like you could have an adominial hernia, that could get strangulated if you do not get treatment for it.  Once it is strangulated, the blood supply to the piece of gut, that is protruding, will be cut off causing severe problems

Can you imagine the scraping that would happen if they hung at the same level. No person has both testicles hanging at the same spot. One, I'm not sure which one, is always lower than the other! It most probably has nothing to do with the surgery you had!

Could be an umbilical hernia, which requires very minor outpatient surgery to repair. I suggest you see a doctor to find out. Good luck!

it would be great if everyone would include more info....\nhow old are you...what did you do last night before bed?   are you sexually active?  did you wear a condom last time you had sex?  are you circumscised?  do you masturbate?  did you have trauma to the testicle in question (were you kicked in the nuts?)...is the sore testicle bigger than the other one...which of your testicles hung lower before the pain (it is usually the left one)...and is it different today?...the worst and most serious consequence is a TORSION TESTICLE which is a surgical emergency...this is where the testicle turns on itself and cuts off the blood supply.  if it is not returned to its' original state VERY SOON...you will lose it and be a one nut kid.  dont worry, you will still have kids, but you'll look funny with a solo...\nthe next thing that you have to consider is epididimitis...which can be a sexually transmitted disease...then you need antibiotics, pain meds and an inflammatory....i would give you some treatmetn options, but you need to go to the ED, RIGHT NOW!  you need an ultrasound of the testicle!

You're in for some severe pain if you don't have those taken care of. I ignored my gallbladder. The pain got so bad I'm not sure I can describe it to you. It was a big knot about the size of my fist under my sternum. Unimaginable pain. It didn't matter what I did I couldn't relieve it. Pushing on it did nothing. Sitting in every possible position I could do nothing. It would last for a good hour non-stop torture. This happened daily. I'm one stubborn man. The pain would be so bad I would be screaming. Still I didn't ask for help. I was hoping one of the neighbors would call for help. They never did. I lasted 10 days. I finally said something and saw a doc. They tried to do the surgery through those scopes. No luck. I'd waited so long that the gall bladder was gangrenous. So they had to go in. That's not a pretty scar. I went into the hospital expecting to stay 5 hours. That turned into 6 days. So if the doc's are suggesting to you that you have the surgery, I'm thinking maybe you should. 4 tiny scars compared to my 7 inch long scar plus the 4 tiny scars. The bill will be much smaller as well. Cost me 15 grand for being stubborn. Good luck! \n.

I am about to have a hernia operation. I have had it for about 7 years (that I know of). It is bothersome from time to time, but if it doesn't bother you much, you can live with it. \n\nThey have no way of knowing how long you have had it. They can't deny it for pre-existing. \n\nI have to pay 20% - my total cost will be around $600.00 - so I would wait until you have insurance.

I date a guy that had only one testicle. You should not allow this to bother you. Have surgery for what reason, not unless the other one is stuck inside of your stomach or something. God bless*

Stay away from the lap-band at all costs! I had the worst experience of my life with it. *My doctor said it has done permanent damage to my stomach and my surrounding organs!*\nI'm still suffering from abdominal pain and vomiting and I'm still losing weight even though the band has been removed. I keep getting pancreatitis for unknown reasons - and I never had a stomach problem before the surgery and I only had my band in for 7 months. Good news is I'm down to 170 but I wish I wasn't vomiting almost everything I ate and I wish my stomach didn't hurt everyday! \n\nDo the bypass if anything, I wish that I did it. And find a surgeon that knows what they are doing. Ask around your town to find out if other people have had the surgeries and who they have gone to and their experiences with the doctors.  \nAs for if the insurance covers it, I know the BCBS doesn't cover it anymore. The surgeon I had doesn't take Aetna or BCBS as of September 1st anymore. I don't know about Cigna. Most times you have to be 100 pounds overweight and have some problems like diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea. Call your insurance company and find out.  \n\nDon't worry about what these fools on here say. Do what you need to do. I thought I was doing the right thing. I was 250 pounds and I knew that wasn't going to lose the weight any other way. I work and I pay into my insurance so why can't I use it? I also work at a hospital I know that some of the gastric bypass surgeons do take Cigna so there is a good chance that it is covered as long as you meet the requirements. Medicaid and Medicare also covers both surgeries. \nA good website that explains all the procedures and talks about the insurace is http://www.obesityhelp.com/\n\nGood luck!
