I ended up needing a hernia-repair surgery about 5 years ago.   (I lifted a really heavy bag of rocks....and...ooops.)\n\nYou will need to have it surgically repaired, which they can do laparoscopically.   They will put a mesh-like material in/along the hernia area, which will fortify that area...and your body will just repair around that mesh.\n\nYou'll be just fine once you've gotten it fixed.

You need to take complete rest. \n\nYou have already seen a doctor. You do need to see two different doctors, to rule out things.\n\nSee an urologist.\n\nSee a sports doctor it may be a muscle pain in the stomach area.\n\nYou  had an ultra sound, but another opinion is in order from a good general practitioner(see this one first).\n\nBut start with rest for a week or so. \n\nThere are over the counter creams for pain apply them only to stomach area.\n\nPossible check list.\n\nBladder.\nDid you lift any thing heavy. \nHernia, there are different kind. Did you have cough that started the pain if so have a check done for Hyatal hernia, a simple touch test by a doctor who knows how to check it, you should be sitting on a stool with your heels on the stool doctor will touch your stomach in different location, if your doctor has not done this then he is not aware of it, ask him a call will do. If he says he does not do it(does not believe in it, then he is not the doctor you want to see for this, if he says next time remind me, he is KO he just did not think about it. He was relying heavily on ultra sound.

I think that you're only real option right now is to go see a doctor. They're trained and you may be scared of surgery but it's either going to the doctor and hearing what they have to say or having to live with that pain untill you get up the guts to go to the doctors. No matter what you're going to see a doctor about it sooner or later so get it over with and put the injury behind you.

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

Yep, born in one. Three weeks later back for a double hernia operation, common in males at that age. Not more than a month old and I was there two times.   ;)

A hernia is an opening or weakness in the muscular structure of the wall of the abdomen that causes a bulging of the abdominal wall.\n\nMost hernias are visually detected (exception is a hiatal hernia).\n\nSurgery is required to repair the hernia.\n\nFYI: there are many different types of hernia so more info can be provided based on the type of hernia.

Im a guy, but i had a hiatal hernia, and my doc(who is a friend and has a pretty good sense of humor) informed me that giving birth to a baby of any size can cause one. I, of coarse, let him know i had never given birth:)

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

You can do it but you shouldn't!  If your bowel becomes strangulated then you will be in serious trouble.  The blood supply gets cut off and then you get gangrene.  It is serious.  Get the hernia fixed.  Wait six weeks and start exercising again.

As long as the hernia can be gently pressed back in, a person is pretty safe.  When the hernia is external (the bulge) and does not retract to normal, that is when there is a serious problem that will need medical attention.\n\nAs for the usual, inguinal for example, there are staps or belts that are made for holding it in, and a person can go on for even several years with no particular problems.\n\nAs long as you can continue your daily routines and do what you want with exercising, you are fine.  When the hernia starts to interfere, then it is a problem.  If the hernia becomes painful, that also is when it is a problem.

Are you sure it is a hernia?\nI have had a hiatal hernia for 40 years that does not bother me. If it is in your lower abdomin you should probably have it fixed. It could be dangerous if your intestine is strangulated! Even deadly. The lower abdomen is the place where they are the most dangerous.

You have ruptured a disc at some point, at L3 to be exact, if I understand everything correctly.  A herniated nucleus pupolsus- HNP- is the cartilage pad that separates and cushions the discs of the spine give way, and buldge out through the membranes which cover them.( the infarction in your L3 vertebra)  The area where it is bulging is what they are refering to as the lesion, and from what you wrote, that has stayed the same- neither getting better nor worse.  The granulation/fibrous tissue suggests your body is trying to heal or at least stabilize things.\n  You have neither cancer nor TB.  This is a physical injury of the spine, usually caused by lifting extremely heavy items or lifting incorrectly.  So far as solutions, thats a subject between you and your doctor.   They can do surgery sometimes, and the type repair they do depends on the surgeon and what your particular situation is.   They also do traction in some cases.  It can take months to recover, and it's hard to say how much better you will get with treatment.  Usually there is a good deal of pain relief, but chronic back pain will still probably be with you periodically for life.  If you opt for surgery, called a laminectomy, the discs above and below the herniated one are fused together.  That will cause you to lose some range of motion- how easily and how far you will be able to turn side to side, etc.\n  It's not possible to say if you are getting better or worse, since there's no way to do a physical exam via the web- and you really wouldn't want to be trusting strangers you can't see with judgements on your state of health.  You really need to discuss this all with the doctor who is treating you, and ask him/her to give you an in depth explaination, in plain English so you can understand it all.  You can also search the web for more info on HNP of the lumbar spine, which is what you are describing.   That will give you loads of information and access to other people who have similar problems.   They would be able to give you a far better picture of what you are looking at in terms of impact on your future.  I suggest you do some searching and make up a list of questions for the doctor and you to discuss at your next appointment, when I presume you will also be going over the results of your latest MRI.  You'll be in a better position to participate in your own treatment, and can make more informed decisions with your doctor if you do this.  Good luck with your back, I hope what ever treatment you decide on that it works to help relieve your pain and get you back on your feet.

Depending on where your hernia is, there are umbilical hernia's, hernia's near the groin. There are many kinds of hernias, but a typical hernia is a tear in the muscle that separates the abdomen from the groin. An abdominal organ pushes through the hole and is felt as a bulge in the groin. When the person lies down, the organ settles back into the abdomen. The repair is to close the hole. After the repair no muscles are seriously affected but you have to be careful of a reoccurrence.\nIf no procedure is done and the organ becomes trapped and cannot return to the abdomen, it is possible that blood flow can be cut off. This can result in a condition called strangulation, a life-threatening emergency. There are many different ways to repair a hernia, sometimes a mesh screen is used. Your best bet is to discuss with your doctor what type of hernia you have and what your options are then you can research what you think is the best procedure for you from there. Good Luck!
