Respect to docs
Thank. You. Soo much!
Thank you. this video helped me by answering some questions I had.
Hi 7 u y&g%%
what a pleasant doctor
A hernia surgery can also make the patient have more pain and discomfort than they had before having surgery. Ask me how I know. There is a big risk of a nerve being cut that will cause numbness and later pain after the numbness goes away. This is pain that will never go away.
Sorry to hear that. Let's be honest, though. The risk is not statistically big. It is quite small. On the other hand, the consequences for the unlucky ones like you can be quite big and bad indeed. I get it. I am truly sorry for your pain. I have multiple chronic pain issues that hurt and also limit my life. I frequently feel like I can't take any more problems like a bad surgical outcome. So I postponed my own surgery. But I did it and so far, I'm good. I understand that does not help you. My sympathies.
Hopefully, the rapid advances in medical technology will lead to an effective remedy for your predicament soon. Hang in there!
@@bruzote Exactly, he can't speak for everyone!
Good intel
Hi. This is an awesome video. You explainI it so ...I .can understand now let’s see how I do on my test. Lol. Thanks ❤️🙏🏽
I didnt hear her give the whys or reasons for choosing between Laproscopic or Desarda. All she said was "it's done on an individual basis". Please explain the reasons for choosing either procedure.
I just had the desarda method of no mesh and had it done at the U First Health in Ft Myres. Fl.. I would highly recommend it because they use your own muscle to build a wall instead of mesh and they also use absorb-able thread is the only way I know how to say it,, That dissolves over time.. So there is nothing foreign in your body. The clinic has the pain down to a minimal and the whole overall procedure is like a science to them they done 3,000 with almost a 100 percent success rate.. The mesh or the Ly[roscopic cant compete to that....
You recommend repairing hernias way before a surgical emergency is needed. In practice, good luck scheduling surgery for a hernia in a timely fashion.
Thanks for explaining! Is it possible to go down into the groin area?
3 c-sections was working out big lump the next day. Then it went down alot but still there have pain.
I woke up after my surgery and felt great. Didn't even use my pain pills. Went back to work the next day.
Well that’s not gonna happen for me because I work at UPS and I’m pushing 5000 pounds and picking up stuff that’s heavy and pushing and pulling so I can go back to work but I won’t be able to do anything so I have to take time off now
I had one of these when I was a baby. The scar still remains 30+ years later.
How can I get you for surgical operation
Have one from coughing going in couple weeks to consult with surgeon. Oh boy it's been 2 months and he will be the 3rd Dr. I just hope I can get back to work 100% and go back to the gym. It's so depression for me getting this
You can get it from coughing too are you allowed to cough after the surgery
How much time do you need of work?
Dear friends...I need your advise...I had a prostate operation, results of that I got hernia ..that's why they say..I dont have a bulge in my body but I have got a hardness in my groin right hand side of my body I could feel it hardness as thick as my little finger.
I wonder that is that a hernia sign.also Last night I couldn't sleep I felt pain on my right hand side of my body under my ribs..I wonder that is that kinda a hernia symptoms. Thank you all in advance.
My concern is my husband went for a thriple bypass is it safe for him to go for a inguinal hernia operation.
Please reply
Read “in the net” by harpers magazine.
I had the Shouldice procedure done. It's an outpatient procedure. I walked out of the surgical center immediately after the surgery. Neglible pain. After the 2nd day; no pain. No mesh means no pain.
Which country are you in. I want to know if it's done in S.A. and by whom.
What do you mean no mesh no pain cause they’re gonna put mesh in mine because I just found out that I have it. I did an MRI and I’ve been dealing with paying for six months because I just thought it was a pulled muscle
@@wellinever1558 hi
I just had my surgery Wednesday...all well.
Did you have a lump after surgery?!?! Please answer
How are you feeling
I had a major operation since than I sit in the bed couple of hours after I woken up
I wonder that does it case lower back the way I sit? I was diagnosed with hernia as well.im getting massive lower back pains.in the morning especially I get stiffness. Yesterday I fell down in the kitchen I felt sudden pain on my lower back right side of it.i was thinking even to call 999 but after fee minutes I was managed to get up.
I wonder that I get lower back pains is it because of the way I sit in the bed and also does that cause hernia as well?
A doctor said I have got hernia on both sides and I need an surgery operation.
I'm not cynical but I live on my own if I go ahead with hernia operation than my life would be very difficult.
I also have a 3 years old toddlers I wont be able to lift him up.
I wonder that they way we sit in the bed after woken up does that cause hernia problems?
Last year I admitted to A&E twice this year one.
For lower back problems.
Any answer would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. X
Ps I have no lumps bumps in the groin area apart as thick as a pen...stiffness.

What if the patient is over 65 years old? Can the age of the patient have different outcomes for successful recovery?
My main symptom is not a bulge, but a burning pain that goes away when I sit or, better still, lie flat. This is the case now with my right side inguinal hernia. It was the same symptom before I had the left side repaired, open with mesh, 7 years ago. I am now waiting for surgery on the right, but the health service in Britain has been overwhelmed due to COVID-19.
Hey..my situation is same.i have burning and pain in left lower abdomen..doctor said its inguinal hernia..usg report say bilateral inguinal hernias of 1.2 cm..I'm wondering if this small hernia causes this amount of pain..
How big was your hernia..did you feel better after surgery ?
@@sampatk4948 Yes, an inguinal hernia _is_ painful. I can't speak to 1cm to 2cm, but the consultant I first saw for my left side, now eight or nine years ago, said my hernia was quite advanced. Bummer that you appear to have both sides simultaneously, but apparently not unusual. You can search on UA-cam and find a lot of patients' experiences, most of which may help you to dispel any worries. You will almost certainly feel a lot better after surgery, though recovery will be long and arduous in that you have to watch yourself constantly _not_ to be lifting anything moderately heavy for several weeks or engaging in physical exercise, although lots of walking is highly recommended. I don't know where you're based, but cost can be a factor in some countries. Here in the UK all surgeries and follow-up aftercare are free of any charge. Patients under the age of 60 have to pay a relatively small token fee for medications, but once over 60 they are free as well. Good luck!
Hi Everyone!
I feel something in my left testicle but their is no pain or any abnormality. I have had this since I can remember but I have kept it to myself. I am too afraid tell anyone or go to the doctor. Does anyone have any Idea what could it be as I have never felt pain.
Thanks and looking forward to your kind suggestions.
What are the signs and symptoms of a recurence of hernia after lap inguinal surgery ? Thank you.
I started taking the Herbal medication bought from Dr igho on UA-cam, surprisingly it was working Gradually and in 9days everything changed, I am super Excited that you helped me cure my Hernia Naturally & I pray that God bless you Dr Igho for the Goodwork
How can you do it naturally I thought your intestines an organ or go through the hole if you don’t fix it because I got to have one turn on both sides cause I just found out that I have it and I’ve been dealing with this pain for six months I just thought it was a pulled muscle in my groin I work at UPS I’m constantly pushing and pulling 5000 pounds picking up things that are heavy as there’s no easy work I work with the planes
I just found out that I have two on each one on the side my left one is bigger starting where I can’t walk and it hurts feels like someone stabbing me I finally got an MRI and I am I have that hernia so I’m gonna be getting it done pretty soon and she said a robot is going to do it
Hey doc
Well here is my story..
Woke up to go to work and felt a sharp pain go from my feet up to my thighs and then nut sack. Seen a small bump on the right side of my testicles and dont feel pain touching it but when I walk I feel a sharp pain. Mostly when I walk up stairs. Surgery cost a lot and more than I can make I imagine even for follow ups.
Note:
Feel sharp pains in the side of my stomach (right side appendix area).
Edit:
Feel my right thighs tighter.
How r u now??is it hernia..got surgery?
Any update
@@neha-gx6wjany update
@@anandpanday4341 Yes. Got my surgery done. But also found out my appendix was also failing. Was it worth it? Definitely. Sleep with no pain and have a regular life now. TYVM for asking.
@@neha-gx6wj Yes it was but also a failing appendix. Apologize for the 2 yr wait. Now Im good and enjoying life.
What happens if a person having inguinal hernia is not willing to go for surgery? Is surgery for aged people recommendable?
Can you be my doctor (cause I got the love disease?) Ha seriously I have 2 years of front left side symptoms, last few days I got weird shooting pains in my leg, I'm 60+ going to see my doc next few days THANKS for the info
I’m waiting right now for my appointment, this is the exact procedure I need, man I hate hospitals and even though my guts are falling out I’m almost too scared to go. Somehow I keep telling myself I can live with it, but it’s the size of a baseball
Same here bro I go October 2nd. Just relax man. Don’t exert yourself. We in this together
What's was the out come bro im going through it now
I think I have one, but my insurance doesn't kick in for 5 days. Is that to long to go w/o seeing a doctor? I have a lot of stinging/sharp pain.
Brent Arnold people wait years or never even have the surgery. Just remember to get it fixed surgery is the only option
Yeah I’ve had that pain since January I been doing it with it for six months finally got MRI And I need surgery now I have to have a mesh put in there but a robot is going to do my surgery
Doctor Wesson. Please do not ignore. Please help . Please give us your professional advice, it will help many people around the world. I am having right inguinal hernia for about three months. I am contemplating open surgery without mesh and with a mesh. There are many feedbacks from people who repaired with mesh surferring permanent chronic pain. In your opinion, what are the things the surgeon should not do and should do in order to avoid letting his patient get permanent chronic pain when repair with mesh? If yourself needed an inguinal hernia repair (about three months hernia) would you go for mesh or without mesh? Please kindly advise us I believe many people around the world will benefit from your opinion.
Many of these surgeons promoting the use of mesh are after your money 💸💸💸. Do you really think that they care about you?.
So you have themesh is still have the pain Cause I’m bout to get the mesh because I can’t hardly do anything at work because I can’t push or pool because I work at UPS and it’s 5000 pounds so they are going to plan on doing the mesh on me and there’s a robot is going to do my surgeon
can stem cell from ones own umbilical cord, heal a hernia? with exercise and proper diet. or what about frequency and stem cell repair in combo? should be able to heal with frequency, can do almost everything else with it, like mold rock and cut steel. and that's what we are is a frequency of energy.
You are talking rich man surgery. Cost a lot of your stem cells to start with.
Why not the Desarda method?? No kickbacks??
I reviewed Dr. Desarda's technique. This method may not be trained to western doctors? I like the idea of no foreign mesh being sutured in my body. What is the success rate of Desarda's method? Could the hernia reoccur? He didn't mention. There's probably not much kickback in a piece of mesh. You just pay for it as part of the procedure.. Also, it looks like they had huge slice in the abdomen. The mesh method requires a 2or 3 inch cut. So I'm told. My father had hernia surgery in the 1970s without the mesh, and the hernia returned.. bummer..
@@bh9262 There is only one surgeon in the US approved by Dr Desarda; Dr Tomas in Florida. I wish I could afford him, but then again I believe I have more than just a hernia but also a small bowel prolapse. Not pleasant as a man! Comfrey topically and turmeric internally among other astringent and vulnerary herbs have helped me immensely!
@@metaorange302 dr. Soztek indiana too.
@@metaorange302 I've been using a poultice of comfrey for 5 months in conjunction with a hernia belt and the hernia is much reduced and barely perceptible for the most part. How are you doing now?
I was operated almost 2 weeks ago of hernia, but I'm worried, does it have an effect after surgery?
Hi brother I have hernia I scard to do the surgery how you feel now? And tell me the mesh it's safe o no ?
Me too
I am a Johns Hopkins patient. Why is is it that I seem to be unable to schedule a Hernia surgery evaluation with you on My Chart? I tried calling but they want me to get another physician involved.
We’re so sorry about your scheduling challenges. We’ve asked Dr. Wesson’s office to reach out to you. If you do not hear from them by next week, please call 410-740-7639. Hopefully we can get you scheduled very soon. Thank you!
surgery details are chilling 😁
My friend, female, has had a bulge in her groin for 2+ weeks now. She's in a lot of pain. She had a catscan? done last week, no one could figure out what it is. Today she was told the same answer, but they've scheduled an ultrasound 1 week and 3 days from now, and a visit with a surgeon 5 days later. It took me 3 minutes to find this info - I'm REALLY worried that IF she indeed has an inguinal hernia, we'll be on week 4 or 5 by the time she sees this surgeon. And Dr Wesson expressed worry that the intestinal section that's been trapped can be dangerous. I'm not even sure I want to tell my friend about this what I'm learning. What the heck do I do?
Definitely tell her, would you rather bury your friend or help her get through this? This can be life threatening.
What about hernia after a hysterectomy?#Dr.HadleyWessen
@Mary Austin is Thank you so much! I have stage 4 cancer tho heading to remission however during my hysterectomy the Dr left a surgical drape in me that caused me to loose 9 inches of my intestines and they couldn't fix the hernia because of what they found I'm have a pre op appointment to get ready for hernia surgery Wednesday that is so risky do to my condition your information is so appreciated thank you for your reply God Bless you I'm definitely looking into this now
2 years of fucking power lifting and then it was sprinting that got my ass
@Mary Austin is pretty sure a hernia isn't a deadly disease and turns out my doctor said that it wasn't quite a hurnia but it was close
@@kilowatttheorignal what was it?
@chillzxkillz343 This was 2 years ago I don't even remember my guy
@@kilowatttheorignal did you do any scans? I did and they didn’t find anything except a tiny cyst in my scrotum
@chillzxkillz343 nah, just had the old dude touch my pearls
Not enough symptoms mentioned like why do you have this job if you are not taking it seriously
Please..Dr...or someone..I need HELP! I have been to several Drs, including surgeons, and keep getting conflicting answers! I have swollen lymph nodes in my groin, but also a HUGE bulge that I strongly feel IS an inguinal hernia, ON TOP of the swollen lymph nodes. I have had several ultrsounds, an abdominal MRI and an abdominal CT scan...some test results say I DO have a hernia, while others show only lymph nodes. What do I do??? I am scheduled for a biopsy of the lymph nodes, but what about a possible hernia as well?? Is it even safe for me to have a needle biopsy if I have an inguinal hernia?? And, is it possible to have BOTH an inguinal hernia AND swollen lymph nodes at the same time?? I need a proper diagnoses...PLEASE< can someone PLEASE help me here?? Thank u..!!!
I came across your post/question and I have exact same thing. Just had ultrasound yesterday to follow up on hernia I've known I've had for two years. I've had issues with feeling tired, sweats etc which led to a repeat ultrasound. On my first ultrasound 2 years ago they didn't notice hernia..just enlarged lymph nodes. A month after that I started seeing a buldge in groin which brought me to a hernia dr who upon physical diagnosed it as hernia. I always wondered why my lymph nodes were enlarged but kinda just left it and forgot about it..I carried on with a buldge for 2 years knowing it was hernia .After recent ultrasound I found out she had trouble seeing hernia on ultrasound, but finally did. What she seen was my lymph node right where buldge is which was bigger than hernia so I feel this whole time the buldge has been my lymph node and not hernia.. I have no clue what's going on, have follow up in a week but I don't want this to get pushed under rug as now I feel it's cause for concern. Hope we get answers!
If you have swollen lymph nodes in the groin do they still go down when your laying down like a hernia would?

I’ve been going through the pain since January almost 6 months I just thought it was a pool groin I finally got finally researched it and I’ve been doing stretches and then I couldn’t stand the pain anymore so recently I told my chiropractor and he referred me to a screening that I did it MRI turns out that I have to have it and I work at UPS so I’m constantly pushing and pulling and lifting heavy things are like 5000 pounds. so actually a robot is going to do the surgery on me
They did a pelvis mri to confirm it?

@@toniavasseur9574what type of mri did you do?
and also i am going through the same situation almost i am going to a chiropractor currently as well but i have no bulge the only lump that was found was in scrotum is a cyst that’s unrelated to hernias from what i know since i spoke to a urologist and multiple doctors
Can either type of repair surgery be done with local anesthesia? general anesthesia takes at least one month per hour under to recover from, causes everlasting nausea
Nonsense.
Personal experience isn’t nonsense, you might not have heard of or believe it but I have lived it

I am a woman who is 3 weeks post op from robotic inguinal surgery, my intestines were proturding thru my groin
I’m going to have a robotic robot do my surgery and then the doctors gonna be there too but I have to have the mesh put in me and I was like freaking out that are robots gonna work on me
How did they know your intestines were in there because you did the MRI because my MRI didn’t show that
I like your use of the term “proturding.”
I was operated on last 2019 and until now the pain is still there in my groin every day I am in pain my doctor told me I have nerve damage but seems like the mesh bothering me.
Why is the mesh bothering you cause I’m supposed to get mash now I’m freaking out about all these comments and I’m gonna have a Reuben work do you want me the doctors just gonna be in there with the robot now I’m freaking out about all these comments on your
Did you have nerve damage because you were lifting and after the surgery

This is the least important question your health comes first
KingRyan 1995 oh...in the US we pay for health care
7k to 15k depending on the surgery type.
I healed my inguinal hernia without surgery. By choosing
anti-imflammatory (gluten-free) diet with intermittent fasting. It is
possible without surgery.
Explain more seriously
Really??
Does this actually work
How is that possible when my doctor just told me that I can die because my intestines and liver and organs can get in there and I can kill you
I don’t see how that’s possible when your organs will go through the hole
why would the medical industry choose the word pharmaceutical, or pharmacy? it means sorcery and mystical.
How soon can you drive
She never mentioned that you can be left in agony with mesh being used. There are thousands of people suffering from mesh being implanted in their bodies. Ask about trying to get the mesh removed if it causes complications.
my son had mesh in years ago and has been in pain every day. Seen two surgeons to remove mesh, good luck with that! Mesh should NEVER BE USED IN A PERSON!
@@user-bj5tn4hy5g I have watched my son in absolute agony the local hospital and some doctors were telling him that the pain was in his head. He has fought for nearly seven years to have the mesh removed. Finally he has had it removed by a top surgeon in Munich.
Exactly. Most people don't even know they are going to get mesh. Many lawsuits in US A for mesh. I need one done but looking for a mash free surgeon in CT.
lies
yeah, let's identify the 'factors inhibiting that'. Hernia mesh that folds back together, basically collapsing the integrity of the mesh. It causes migration (moves around inside) resulting , in my case, UNBELEIVABLE SEVERE, HORRIFIC P A I N, FISTULAS, a deformation of the colon, spermatic cord interference, all the resulting negative life-altering events. Oh, and since none of it is visible upon exterior exam, will have medical staff, family members, etc... to basically not take your cries for help seriously, while everyone scratches their ignorant heads... feels like a 10 hour ride on a hellish entanglement of SHARP_EDGED, plastic screen, making you feel, like, castrated!ALMOST DAILY- !it has been 1 and a 1/2 YEARS!!! after surgery. I heard not all the mesh is defective, just certain brands... Thank you , Brandon
Hi, Brandon. We’re sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve been having since your surgery and hope that you are able to follow up with your surgeon or seek a second opinion.
Brandon where did you get your surgery done and do you know what mesh was used? Definitely get it redone somewhere else
Brandon Bonnell Shouldice technique does not have these issues
liar
Lets get than mesh in ya honey, i gotta make my Mercedes payment. You will be the only one in pain for years and i will get a new Mercedes again. Then u will haf ta pay out of pocket to get it fixed while i am on vacation.
Pushyhog ... u got that sh_t right !!!
You have a clear view of reality , these ghouls are sick ,she left a lot out , like 37% relapse rate ,the cause is dietary , the mesh is source of cronic pain and class action lawsuits , but oh that was the old mesh , the new mesh sooo much better ,
This is bs
I'm not going to her office. I'll go to somebody closer. She just wants the money.
Don’t have a surgery just for nothing. You should not have any surgery unless you have symptoms such as pain.
