Thank you doctor. I have just been diagnosed with a hernia today. I have had a bulge in my inner thigh for the last 8 months It gets worse after I run (walk long distance) and its painful, bigger and sometimes red during my menstrual days. The fact that its worse during my period was thre reason it took 8 months to diagnose. Now they want me to have surgery, but I am so afraid - this video was helpful. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

15 days after double inguinal open repair using mesh. Left side was recurrent and old mesh removed to place a smooth mesh by a different surgeon. Now I notice a firm knot right where old hernia always presented, but it does not seem reducible like my old hernia, nor does it seem to enlarge when I cough. Reading through all your comments has relieved me greatly that this is probably normal and I just wanted to thank you for your work here. I can’t get ahold of my surgeon until after the weekend so your video saved me a lot of worrying over the next three days. I appreciate you and all the people who contributed with similar situations.

Thanks for asking. Dr. Harris was exactly right in his reply. It took about three months for my lump and pain to go away. After about two years I hurt it again trying to move a treadmill (stupid yes?) and I thought I had pulled it lose again. It took another three months to heal and is now good again. I am so happy that it seems I won’t have to have this done a third time. But if it ever occurs again I’ll try and fly to have Dr. Harris fix it since my surgeon retired. My first error was having someone who just does this part time handle it. I should have insisted on a specialist. Experience really matters in this procedure.

I appreciate so much that you have taken the time to provide this helpful information to patients! I have a question - I had open umbilical hernia repair 2 weeks ago - it was a very small hernia so it was suture only (no mesh). I also have diastasis recti (but only the hernia was sutured - the diastasis was left untouched) - he made only a small incision right at the base of my belly button. My question is: could repairing the hernia and leaving the diastasis untouched make that worse? My stomach is quite swollen/bloated at 2 weeks post op. Is it normal for my stomach to look bigger now than it did before? Thanks so much! ☺️

Michael, at 6 days after a hernia surgery it is very common to still have incisional muscle pains. Often these pains get better day by day and usually by 2 weeks and certainly 3 weeks, most of our patients are feeling back to almost 100% normal. It's not uncommon even in these patients for them to have infrequent, occasional pains that last for seconds during their normal activities. It sounds like you're healing according to expectations.

Dr Harris..I’m a female and went to see a nurse practitioner with some complaints like abdominal pressure,lower back pain and weakness in right leg. I didn’t have any pain in my groin at all not even while exercising and no bulge that I could see but he placed his fingers underneath my pubic bone for like 5 minutes on the right side and said he felt a defect in there so diagnosed me with small ingunial hernia. He also said get surgery before worsening health which made me super stressed. I went back home that day and saw that right side of groin where he examined got swollen and it was very painful.It was very hard to touch and pain got worse everyday radiating to my hip and pain killers did not work to get relief. I went to get pelvic MRI and then also an ultrasound both spune and standing position and everything looked normal and no hernia was detected. I went thru a lot of suffering and pain for 3 months till the swelling and pain went away. Last week I went to see this nurse practitioner again and told him what happened and he started to yell at me and verbally abuse me insisted there is a defect there then he diagnosed me with mood disorder..

Rose, we're sorry to hear that you had an infection after your hernia repair. You're correct in that infections can prolong recovery, and can lead to ongoing issues for years after your surgery. Your complaint of pain in the incision and the testicles is not uncommon after infection. Although these types of complications can occur, fortunately they are very rare. Most centers see a 0.1% rate of a mesh infection, and about a 1% rate of a mild skin infection after surgery.

E Plum - Very sorry to hear you are experiencing these issues. I hope you have found someone willing to step up and help you. These mesh peddling hernia surgeons always dodge questions such as yours and only speak on mild complications. The truth is, the majority of hernia surgeons have no clue how to deal with severe complications. They only put the mesh in. After that you are someone elses problem.. usually kicked off to pain management. Many docs won't even acknowledge the real damage mesh can do. Mesh is not inert like these docs want you to believe. Mesh is known to constrict, harden, ball up, migrate, and cause all types of problems. Where are the videos about that??

For inguinal hernia repair you have two choices: living with chronic disabling pain, mostly in testicles and groin, and or immunological disorders as a result from mesh usage (around 23% or more) or lead with a little bit more recurrence rates of anatomical repair (no mesh). Meshes are proven to be highly associated with chronic pain and complications than no mesh counter part repairs. Meshes are not inert foreign bodies and must be seriously considered per patient, specially those with previous pelvic pain syndromes, immunological disorders or allergies and foreign body unknown reactions. Once a mesh is implanted, is extremely challenging get rid of the material, an usually involves selective neurectomies with inherent compications. And only a few surgeons could perform such procedures. So think before you let them put a piece of plastic inside your groin.

Hello. I have a problem that I don't see described often. I had bilateral laparoscopic mesh for a direct right side inguinal hernia. The surgeon explored the other side and found some fat so he used two 6x6 inch pieces of mesh to cover as much as possible. I had a very difficult recovery with much spongy swelling across the whole lower abdomen, hwile trying to continue my active life of running and playing soccer, after my surgeon said it was okay. My surgeon could not figure out why I was having problems (he said). So I quit running and playing soccer and started working out instead. This seemed to compress and reduce the swelling and tighten my abdomen up, generally, which was good. But now, 2 and a half years later, I find that I still can't run or bike or do typical aerobic exercises without losing the ability to get an erection. The penis just starts shrinking and will not engorge properly, I think due to swelling and/or fluids from damaged tissue in the area of the vessels involved. If I stop the running and biking and become more sedentary, the function comes back after a week or two. So, I am forced to choose between having a functioning penis or engaging in healthy activities. There is pain involved after various physical activities also, one to two days later, like tissue is being torn and/or stretched. I spend most of my free time now thinking about having the mesh removed. I don't seem to be getting better no matter what I try and I am basically debilitated and getting less healthy. It's affecting my health in a bad way. Is this enough to get a surgeon to remove the mesh? Physically I appear healthy but mentally and emotionally I'm in bad shape. I feel like 50% of the person I was even when I had the hernia. I was better off with the hernia than now. Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Maybe I was too long-winded. You've responded to a post after mine so you must have seen mine. Can you advise on having mesh removed?

Dr Harris I had my 1st laproscopic right side inguinal.hernia surgery in 2011. I than had a recurrence in 2019 and had open surgery. For the past 3 years I have had intermittent soreness and stabbing nerve pain. So frustrated because I have never fully recovered. Not sure if what I experience is chronic pain or another recurrence. If I require a 3rd surgery I certainly will not be using the same surgeon. Would very much consider CHS even if I must pay out of pocket. I am on Medicare and after one failed surgery and now possibly another I will only consider a hernia specialist. I have read a lot of great things about your facility.

The doctor says I need to have surgery but I'm extremely worried about losing a testicle. My hernia is quite small, it can't be seen from the outside but was found in an ultrasound and was felt by the doctor when I tense up. What are the chances of me losing a testicle during the surgery?

Hello Dr. Harris. I had an incisional hernia repair 10 months ago. The defect was closed and a two layer gortex mesh was used as well. My incisional hernia was due to a bowel ressection I had to have for a Meckel's infection two years ago. I am a 36 yo female and have had two pregnancies as well. I still notice that when I cough, bear down to play my trumpet (I am a trumpet player/band director), sneeze, etc. I can still feel a bulge in the same area. I have occasional burning pain (mostly because I'm paranoid and keep pressing the area trying to figure out of my surgery failed). I have an appointment with my surgeon soon, but she thinks it is pretty unlikely the surgery has failed and more likely that I just have a bulge of the mesh itself due to weight loss since my surgery. She most likely will want to have me get another abdominal CT scan to see what is going on. I have had a lot of CT scans of my abdomen in the last few years and really don't' want more radiation. My questions are (1) Is there another method we can use other than a CT scan to see if it's a cosmetic bulge or an actual surgery fail; (2) Is it fairly common for umbilical incisional hernia repairs to have minor bulging during coughing etc. even after repair and (3) Is it better to leave the bulge be than try to place a second mesh and risk more issues. I don't plan to have more children (I had originally wanted three before this whole mess and now I'm not willing to risk any more health issues), but I do have a career that requires a fair amount of internal pressure, so I wanted to get another opinion. I live in Maryland and am actually considering coming to CA if I indeed need a second repair, I'm just fearing how painful the flight back would be after only a few days of recovery. Thank you for any input you may have.

Amy, you have some good questions that you will need to ask your particular surgeon. Unfortunately CT scans are the best to evaluate for ventral hernias and the decisions to operate or observe are not easily made without examining a patient.

Had my 3rd R inguinal hernia repair 3/2020. I was told the mesh MIGRATED. Pathology showed chronic inflammation. Seroma developed, Lg enough to blow out the end of the scar. Non-stop drainage. "Let it drain on it's own". Continued. Place wicking gauze into the hole to help it drain. Continued. The other end of the scar popped opened. Placed catheter into one pocket, when collapsed pulled it out. Week later scar popped, more drainage. 2nd catheter placed into another pocket. When drainage scant, removed. Week later (past week) both ends of scar popped open with slow drainage. Scheduled later this week for open surgery. 6 months, at least 10 dr visits, 3 IR procedures (4 IR follow up visits for cath monitoring), one wound infection (antibiotics) initial surgery, another next week.

Blessed day Sir, I had my laparoscopic surgery on my right inguinal hernia last 2 weeks. Right now I noticed that there's still a bulge/lump on the previous location of my hernia, the same exact spot. There's no pain but mild discomfort. 1. If it was a tear or anything then shouldn't there be more pain or discomfort? 2. Could this be a post operation healing taking place? Given I felt back to almost 100% after a week without any pain reliever or meds, this could be my body telling me that it needs to heal more? 2. Or is this an issue of the hernia pooping back up due to several factors like the surgeon's techniques or patient's condition? 3. My next appointment with the surgeon is only 2 weeks aways from now and an earlier date is unlikely. I don't want to rush or anything due to zero pain and minimal discomfort. Seeking insights if this is normal, or should I get immediate attention... Thank you very much in advance... God bless us all.

francis lalancette, What you are describing certainly sounds like a seroma. We often see these in patients who have slightly larger hernias that extend down to the scrotum and testicle. Fortunately, as your surgeon has suggested, most of these resolve on their own over time. Usually we see improvements within 1-3 months after the surgery. If by the 6 month mark there is still residual significant swelling, we discuss treatment with patients. But we strongly prefer to let your body reabsorb the fluid on it's own. Good luck, CAHS

Hi, thank you for your video. I had hernia surgery(laparoscopic) for two epigastric hernias(above my naval and middle of my abs), and an umbilical hernia. I had the surgery done with mesh. I am about 12 days post-op right now, and feel great, but concerned because the two epigastric hernias that I could feel before the surgery I can still feel it seems.. I was curious in your opinion if you think this is hernia recurrence already, or fluid build up in the old hernia sac, or a healing ridge? They are firm to the touch, but they don't hurt. My stomach is still somewhat filed with fluid/water from the surgery, but has gone down quite a bit over last 12 days, and once it did I could start to feel those bumps. Any information would be super helpful- I am seeing my doctor for post-op visit next week- but have been trying to do research on my own about this. Thank you.

I had a hiatal hernia repair with mash March 6, 2020. I woke up from this procedure out of anesthesia, thrashing and screaming holding the left side of my abdominal area from this moment on my bowel movements were accompanied with severe vomiting. I had burning pain on the left side of my abdominal area that still to this day has not went away completely, my primary care physician and referred me to the surgeons involved was never disclosed. I never knew was used/ I was only told they were going to remove my gallbladder and repair a hernia. Every time I had a bowel movement from this time on I puke violently my blood pressure drops. I have an extreme, twisting gut, wrenching pain on the left side, the same exact small area I woke up, holding in screaming after the mesh was implanted, unfortunately I didn’t have good doctors. I didn’t have ethical doctors that were honest with me right off the bat. I followed up every single month with my primary care physician explaining to her it feels like a foreign object is inside of my body burning me she never once told me that there was a foreign object inside of my body, I followed up with my surgeon over 50 times and I was rushed by an ambulance into the same hospital system. This was procedure was done over 150 times most recently in April 28. I had a bowel movement where a large surgical type material came out of my bowel movement 11 days prior. I was vomiting, extreme cramping with bowel movements cramping that I’ve never experienced before because now it went all the way across my abdominal area, my vagina swelled only on the left side the same side I woke up holding and screaming after the mesh and plant was placed in side my body. Now my lymph nodes are over and almost 2 cm on level 123 and four of my neck. My breasts are completely calcified. My teeth are cracking out of my mouth. I’ve had to have one extracted. I have one remaining with a long crack spongestic dermatitis. I have every symptom of some sort of mesh rejection after the foreign object came out of my body in a bowel movement. I have no longer thrown up with any bowel movements, which I’m really grateful for. I know the longer need nausea medication that I’ve needed every six hours since March 6, 2020 however, when I have a bowel movement, the left side of my body goes completely numb and I did suffer a mini stroke on August 27, while trying to pass a movement because the vomiting that accompanied with bowel movement, pressure pain and burning feeling wasn’t pushing the bowel movement out like it typically did and I puked for three hours until I stroked out. I’ve tried to see help with the surgeon locally, but no one wants to get involved in my case because they don’t want to be the responsible doctor. That’s going to place the other four doctors license in jeopardy and this is at my expense. I’m an educated woman. I understand what’s happening to me Mesh was used. I went into the hospital and I pulled my surgical notes so I realize mesh was used. This was never disclosed even though I woke up from this procedure out of anesthesia, thrashing and screaming, even though I followed up every month with the primary care physician who signed off on the surgery, even though I went in front of the surgeon over 50 times face-to-face explaining it feels like a foreign object is inside my body burning me even though I was rushed by an ambulance to the same hospital system over 150 times I’ve received no help. I realize now that my life is definitely in danger and I have nowhere to go here locally because no doctor wants to help me as a matter fact I’m treated very poorly until I’m intimidated enough to walk out of the hospital on my own, even with all of my notes, all of my documentation which I have videos of every single time this has happened now it’s happened over 1000 times I’m surprised I’m even still here. I appreciate you posting your video. I wish I had access to a doctor like you.

I had an abdominal hernia repair surgery on June 4-2018 - I remained in hospital 6 days - 4-5 days after being home I developed a redness that increased in size and surgeon started me on antibiotics - I saw surgeon 2 weeks post op and he removed 2 stitches and opened an area as I had a lot of seroma fluid - I am now 4 and a 1/2 MONTHS post - op . I have been on two strong doses of antibiotics in the meantime and VON have been packing my opening daily for 4 months. About 3 weeks ago surgeon was going in to operate again but my drainage stopped for 6 days prior to my surgery and he felt the situation was trying to right itself so 21 hours prior to surgery he felt we could at the very least give this a chance to right itself and surgery was removed from schedule --- for another 6 days I had little to no drainage but then all of the sudden it started again. Two days after drainage started again I developed a reddened transparent skin area about the size of a nickel in the sore hardened area towards lower part of my incision ( just off to the side of it a small distance and about 2 to 2 and a 1/2 inches from top opened area -a few days after when the VON irrigated the top opening in my incision which was down to the size of the wooden end of a swab it then came out of lower area - they requested my surgeon see me. I saw him 3 days ago and he opened this lower area. When VON began packing the upper area that was opened 2 weeks post op they started packing with 1/2 inch at 20cm in length- we were down to 3cm - the area most recently opened they are packing with 23 cm of packing as there is a funnel off from the opening - any thoughts - advice or tips would be greatly appreciated as this has impacted every hour of my day to day life

Hi Doc. Great vid. Question: I'm looking at Inguinal Hernia surgery. My options are the standard open, laparoscopic, or Da Vinci. Most Dr.'s in my network want to do the Da Vinci option. But, I get a very "salesy" feel about the Robotic option. And, I just don't understand how the goggle vision will be able to replace the ancillary mobility of the head & neck in conjunction with the eyes (in terms of angles, layers, broadness of vision, & spotting additional/potential abnormalities). Also, are surgical Techs still hands on involved with Robotic surgery? I have a lot of questions. It's very odd to ask one's surgeon these questions without getting a sense of "awkwardness."

Nitecrawler, We're sorry to hear that you have a recurrent hernia. Initial hernias have a 1-2% chance of recurrence, which goes up to about 10% after an initial failure. There is more scar tissue which can make the second surgery slightly more difficult. However, with laparoscopic/robotic/open options, usually that is minimized.

I am scheduled for an umbilical hernia repair surgery next week. I am not experiencing any pain or discomfort, however I have developed an "outtie" over the last several years. I am 51 and in good physical shape- work out regularly with no physical discomfort. The only issue is this area is sensitive to the touch and when I also happen to brush it up against something like a countertop. This is an elective surgery, but yet I worry that repairing it could put me in chronic pain , even though the risk is small. How does the risk factor of someone doing this on an elective basis with no pain compare to those who NEED to have this done? I don't want to forever regret my decision, especially when the surgery wasn't necessarily required.

Update? Here's my story for anyone interested.I had a hernia so many years I couldn't tell you exactly when I first noticed. I'm 52 now. I'd say it's been there 10 plus years. They say if you've had prior surgery in that area, it's more likely..... I had my tubes tied, after having 4 babies , am overweight, and did lots of heavy lifting tand labor that was too strenuous for me all along. It kept getting steadily worse. Even though the hole was only about quarter size, it was sticking out further and wasn't going to heal on its own. The surgeon told me it was urgent, not an emergency. So a month later I got it repaired. I insisted on no mesh. this was about 18 hours ago. Felt like I was run over by a truck when I bend down or try to get off the couch. I find that standing and walking aren't terribly painful. Took my tramadol I think it's called. and trying to fall asleep. Pain level just about 0 when lying still. I think I'll be glad I finally got this hole sewn up. in the past few months, when it got hard, I'd slowly push it down and would here a squishy sound and it would collapse and it was starting to scare me a little.

Robert, it is difficult for us to offer clear educated advice without a full history and examination, but having fluid draining from the belly button is concerning. A mesh infection is one diagnosis which could cause this type of presentation. One other less serious cause is a 'suture granuloma' which is when one of the sutures that the surgeon uses to repair the hernia has an inflammatory response around it. This can ultimately cause some fluid build up and drainage. I have seen suture granulomas cause fluid drainage and we are able to treat them with removal of the suture and cleaning the area. This often is done in the operating room. I'm sure your surgeon is taking good care of you so best of luck, CAHS

Dr Todd my name is Cynthia Turner, i have been trying to get a surgeon that i feel comfortable with, and have experience and could treat me properly. I feel that in your tapes on you tube, you reveal and tell about the surgery. You explain to your patients about complications and after effects. I like that. (You have experience and i feel assured that you know what you are talking about. i just like to say to you, that i wish i had you for my surgeon to repair my hernia. I don't have-the money, and don't know how i could come up with this kind of money. I work part time and my insurance does not cover all the cost pay for everything. And I do not live in California. I am thinking what would happen if i do not get the surgery repair soon. The last time i had my hernia repair surgery was in 1993 or 1994. I have had a baby delivered by C Section. After my post par-tum visit my gynecologist mention to me about having a fibroid cyst. I did experience quite a bit of pain for several years and one day the pain just stopped. My fibroid shrink , then my hernia proceeded to be there for several years it was small and discomforting. then after about ten years it got larger. because i did not have the money to get it repaired at the time. it was diagnose as a hernia. often think about what it be like to not have the discomfort, and swelling in my stomach. i hope one day in the time that god sees what i need and ready for it to be done. (Repaired). Some times i feel as t though it just adversary trying to keep me from living a complete full life and happy life in Christ . I said to myself am i being testing by my faith in Christ. I need support and friends that help me.

Hi doctor, I’m happy I came across this video. To be brief, I just came out of my hernia surgery and to my surprise, after surgery I was told they found 4 abdominal hernia’s. Painful, yes but my question is that I was given a drain pouch for my hematoma I would believe but for 2 weeks it was normal colour until a few days ago when it turned an orangey colour. Should I be concerned about this. Unfortunately I don’t see my surgery until May 25 to ask him about this so if you can kindly help me with this I would really appreciate it. Kind regards.

Most drains which are placed after surgery stop draining red blood and begin draining just clear yellow fluid. During that transition the color may be orange.

Conanlabiche, Many surgeries, including hernia surgery, causes some breakdown in the normal neural pathways. A breakdown in the neural pathway in the pelvis/bladder area causes about 7% of patients to not be able to urinate after surgeries in that area. Fortunately, 93+% don't have any issues urinating and will not need a bladder catheter. Good luck in your surgery, CAHS

Jessica McCall, We often see some swelling after surgery which can take weeks to months to completely resolve. Some patients can develop a small seroma after surgery which can also take months to resolve completely. It's unlikely to be a recurrent hernia this quickly so we advise our patients to give it 2-3 months before we offer any further work up. Best, CAHS

So, here is a question. I just had a left Inguinal hernia repair done with the dual mesh. Polypropylene duel mesh. Dr. stated that no sutures were used except to close the tear in abdominal wall. I understand the pain associated with this during healing, but informed him that I felt nerve pain in my left groin area radiating down to my knee when sitting, standing, walking or attempting to wear clothing at all! States it is normal pain. I'm wondering if the mesh is actually rubbing on nerves to my leg and groin area as it feels like a hot curling iron is place on the inside of my theigh when I walk, sit, bend over or put on pants! I inquired about Inguinodynia and was told to stop being a google doctor! Really? I"ve had my right side done...it never hurt like hell like this! I had this done 3.5 weeks ago and the pain gets worse daily! He tells me I'm fine, stop google diagnosing and it's normal. I'm about to lose my mind on the pain!
