What type of dr do you see for a hernia problem?
494349
Hi,\nI suffered from the most common hernia in the male, a right inguinal hernia. I actually went from here in MN to Lonsdale, PA to the North Penn Hernia Inst. I would recommend that you seek them out if you can, also if you have no insurance they are reasonable, but that depends on what type of hernia you have. They also have a website where they will answer you questions and concerns, and at the same time you can read about all the people that have lifelong chronic extreme pain because they had it done at the wrong place, wrong doctor, or wrong technique. Dr. Goodyear is the head doc, and hernias are all he does. There are other centers across the country that also do just hernias. Many times the procedure is a day surgery and you are in and out the same day, but again that depends on the type of hernia you have. Hope this helps.

Word of mouth is the best way to find a doc. Ask friends and family if they have heard of any good surgeons there.

Are you sure it was a hernia or was it a herniated disk?

Have her see a doc. people can guess on here and they may even be correct but she will still need treatment. it could be a hernia or a few other things, all need medical opinion and care.

check with your doctor.

the doctor will check your groin area and have you cough so he can feel if you have a hernia. If you have a hernia and you cough the stomach wall will poke out and that's how he can tell. If you are young and active it has to be fixed, but if older and not active you could very well let it be, depending and the stage that it's in.  the procedure is very easily done as in and out day surgery.

I had to have one done and my family Dr told me who to go to. Actually my Dr's office not only told me who I should go to but made the appointment for me. So ask your Dr.

It would be in your best interest to make an appointment with a Neurologist to examine you.  If you mean your doctor as in your OB, well.......need I say more.  The anethesiologist is the one who administered the epidural and could have very well touch a nerve associated with your leg.
