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!

Most doctors will not perform hernia surgery unless it is strangulated, and the same goes for health insurance companies.  I have known people to have an unstrangulated hernia for over 10 years without surgery being done.  If a hernia becomes strangulated, this is a medical emergency as blood is being cut off.

I think it means you need to see a health care physician. Now for real... my exfather in law had this problem and seen a doctor and come to find out he had a hernia.

There are many different types of surgery and different names for the operations. However the two main procedures are:\npartial removal of the large bowel with rejoining of the two ends of bowel so that bowel function is normal\n\npartial removal of the large bowel without rejoining of the two ends of bowel. This leaves a stoma (opening) on the abdominal wall that is fitted with a bag to collect waste and the lower end of the bowel is just sewn over leaving a stump at the rectum. This sort of operation is sometimes done initially and then the two ends are rejoined at a later date.\n\nHope this helps!

No.\n\nThey are potentially life threatening. The infection probably was caused by the hernia in the first place and not the repair.

Not nice.\n\nIt means something is not in its place. Think of a tire where the inner tube is sticking out. Oh yeah, that's bad.\n\nTheoretically Hernia's can be anywhere in your body.\n\nDisc herniation\nInguinal hernia\nFemoral hernia\nUmbilical hernia\nIncisional hernia\nDiaphragmatic hernia\nBrain hernia \nCooper's hernia \nEpigastric hernia\nLittre's hernia\nlumbar hernia\nGrynfeltt's hernia \nObturator hernia\nPantaloon hernia\nPerineal hernia\nProperitoneal hernia\nRichter's hernia  \nSpigelian hernia

It's also sometimes just called a nissen procedure.  It's for a hiatal hernia which is when part of the stomach slides up through an opening in the diaphragm (where your esophagus normally goes through the diaphram).  In this surgery they take the top portion of the stomach and wrap it around the lower part of the esophagus so it can't slide up through he opening in the diaphragm anymore.

A hiatal hernia is a bulging of the stomach or esophagus into the chest cavity, usually over the diaphragm which can cause pain similar to heartburn or worse.  The normal treatment is antacids or prescription medicine to lower the amount of acid in your stomach.  If you have severe symptoms, then surgery is performed to pull the stomach back below the esophagus and sew it into place so it doesn't bulge up again.

vagotomy is the surgical dissection of the vagus nerve(longest cranial nerve, in this case the part involved is near your stomach)\nthe nerve supplies the stomach with various branches arising from a nerve trunk.\ntruncal vagotomy implies that the main trunk is cut resulting in the innervation of the entire area supplied by it being cut off.\nhighle selective vagotomy is used for a limited area\nthe choice of surgery depends on the condition and its severity

Yes....Hernias do not have anything to do with a man's reproductive system.  A hernia is a muscle tear.

The easiest way to understand is to consider the part at the belly button.  It is our stomach and our intestines.  A lot of times, though, we simply think of this as our stomach.

This is dependent on what is strangulated. A hernia is typically a breech in a muscle wall. It can be the abdomen or the diaphram. In either case, it has to be carefully evalutated by a specialist. If a bowel is strangulated by the abdominal wall, there is a better than average chance that it will necrotize and initiate gagrene, leading to sepsis and death. If the esophogus is strangulated by the diaphram, the person will experience difficulty eating, digesting, even vomiting when it is necessary. Time is not on your side in either case.

Have you ever had a hernia or near hernia? I was told I came very close to getting a hernia after lifting a heavy object away from my body many years ago. Ever since that time I get tenderness in my testicle on that side whnever I overexert myself. I can never quite determine if the pain is coming directly from the testicle or somewhere along the tubes that travel from that point up to the stomach wall where a hernia occurs. I went to see a doctor many years ago who gave me antibiotics thinking I might have a low level infection somewhere and it seemed to make an improvement at the time. But I still get the tenderness from time to time now. I don't belioeve I have an enlargement though. I would check yourself for "lumps" in the scrotal sac in addition to the testicle (compare each side). Any additioal lump is definitely a problem.

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.
