Ladies can get hernias for the same reasons as men.. weakness in muscle wall.. often in the abdomen. After repair operation .. no heavy lifting for a few weeks until tissue is allowed to heal .. then increasing strain on affected area is encouraged to promote to full activity again.

Depending on the type of hernia repair.  Also if it's bilateral or not you will take longer to recover.  Also depends if you actual rest and put a hold on lifting heavy objects for a while.  Hernia operations are common and yes guys tend to take a little longer to heal but only a few week in total generally back at work or school in a few days to a week and not lifting heavy objects for a good few weeks after your sutures are removed.

I had my hernia repaired after three years. I now know that I probably didn't need surgery at all. I faked the pain and was operated on within a few hourse.\n\nIf a hernia is asymptomatic in nature, i.e. minimal pain, almost no symptoms, then it is possible to wait for years without needing surgery, or in some cases not undergo surgery at all. Most hernias will likely need to be repaired at some point, and the important thing to know is that not all repaired hernias stay that way!\n\nA hernia is basically a weakness in the muscle wall which allows underlying tissue to 'poke out'. The most common hernias present in the groin. Men and women can be affacted, though it's more common in males. Doctors believe that most hernias are caused by slight defects during fetal development, except for 'sliding' hiatus hernias which are caused by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).\n\nIMPORTANT: If you have a hernia and you are experiencing elevated pain you should consult a doctor immediately. Hernias can be life threatening. They can cause blockages, o bleeding, or interfere with the normal operation of near-by organs.

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.

It depends on how and why the surgery was performed.  The woman should talk to her GYN about the specifics of her case.  There's really no one-size-fits-all answer.  Best wishes.

could be tight muscles.  There is a 'corset' of muscles that supports your spine but also makes up your abdomen.  IF those muscles get tight near the spine, she may feel a pulling sensation.\nOr, could be a hernia.\nShe should go to MD.

Hereditary is one cause.  She should go on a (ick) bland diet.  Keep Pepcid AC or Tums around.  Looking at it through an endoscope is going to find out where exactly the hernial is on the esophagus. Surgery on an esophageal hernia, in other words to fix it, can be very dangerous and is usually not recommended.

Convalescence is an individual thing.   You didn't say how they did the hysterectomy, if it was vaginal or abdominal, but either one is pretty traumatic to a body.  You can get slightly anemic after any surgery, and if you were borderline to start, that would leave you feeling fatigued.  The wind is likely due to a system getting things moving along again, after the days post-op eating jello and soft things.  The trick is to keep with the good diet, although it should probably be on the blandish side- no curries or such as that.  Eat foods which aid movement, like raisins and prunes, and drink loads of liquids.   Try to get moving a bit more each day, but not to the point you exhaust yourself.  Move as slowly or as quickly as you feel you can, and perhaps just a tad more.  So far as your daily walk goes, that sounds perfect.  For the boredom, well, go visit or invite a close friend in for tea and a chat.  Pick up the book you've been thinking of reading, start a new hobby project.  You may move slowly, but you should start getting yourself back into the swing of things.  You might be feeling a bit of hormone swing, possibly to a depression, since the hysterectomy rather puts things to an abrupt end.  The HRT will go a long way to helping with that, and getting you back to feeling like your old self.  Give it time and things will get back to normal.  Possibly better than the old normal, as your old health problems are now gone.   If you like, you can take a chewable multivitamin, mineral supplement.  That will get the iron and nutrients back into the system, and if you are having a problem with anemia, you should note some improvement in the course of a few weeks.  Meantime, the vitamin B will help you feel less fatigued and irritable from the inactivity.  Chewable are prefered to regular sort that you swallow whole, as those sometimes don't get digested soon enough.  Chewables get into the system more efficiently.  If you have to, get a children's chewable.  It sounds as if you are on the right course for recovery, and doing all the sensible things just right.  Just try to be a bit more patient with yourself, and soon enough you will be back to full steam.  I wouldn't get concerned if it takes you a month to 6 weeks to fully recover, though if you are bothered, by all means take it up with your physician and see what they have to say.

If some days are o.k. and then there are others when you feel like this, then things sound a bit normal. However, if this is not your typical attitude towards life, then you should consult with the surgeon who performed your hysterectomy.\n\nA hysterectomy is usually a safe operation, but complication do arise. One complication that should alert you to consult with your surgeon is internal bleeding.\n\nOther complication which also may cause weakness is a blood clot, and pneumonia. The posibillity of these happening are far off, but the emotional factor and an infection may still exist.\n\nHope this answers your question!

That is up to your surgeon, not  you. Sorry. Give his nurse a call, she'll/he'll have the correct answer for you, not us, anyway,haha.

I had my gallbladder removed back in 2004 and had problems with having to go the restroom IMMEDIATELY after eating anything. It got to the point where I never wanted to go out and eat. I would also get very sick to my stomach after eating sometimes. I'm doing better now...but sometimes these things still happen. I never heard of what your wife is experiencing....why did she have an emergency surgery? Did a gallstone get into the pancreas?

That's not normal nor is it something you should wait around to see if it gets better.  It might be a hernia which gets worse and can cause major other proplems if left untreated.

Could be.  Everybody reacts to surgery different.  I would ask a Doc just in 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 a rupturing of a thin wall supporting the underneath of your intestines. Getting hit with a baseball probably won't give you a hernia but might result in a urinary tract infection which will mask itself as a hernia. Your testicles will enlarge and may even turn black.(It happened to me.) Your sperm and your urine run along the same path known as the urinary tract. When there is a break in the thin wall(again, another thin wall), the urine and sperm mix together and cause swelling. There is medication available but could cause allergic reaction. Consult an urologist in your area. The doctor will need to give you a prostate exam to be sure. Be forewarned. The exam is not pleasant but necessary.

I would think it would be because of the antibiotics they gave you. Antibiotics kill the good and bad bacteria that live in the body. We require the good bacteria to keep things balanced. If they haven't given you  medication you can try eating lots of yogurt. Hope all is well after your hysterectomy. I just found out 1 month ago that I did not have to get that surgery done at this time.  I hope you are feeling better soon as I know it is a very difficult surgery.

My girlfriend had this and after her operation it subsided though. You need to return to your doctor. Obviously something didn't go right.
