Hernia - Ask the Doctor Series

[@jiujitsu94]

Just had my inguinal hernia repaired 10 days ago. I went with the robotic laparoscopic surgery. Currently my pain has gone down about 85% than before the surgery. Looking forward to recovering fully.

I've had a hiatal hernia for approximately 30 years. The doctor stated if it wasn't bothering me then leave it. I had a CT which was unremarkable. The pain I experience is in the RLQ which I am able to locate the outpouring depress it in and exhale when I can feel and see the out poaching. My entire abdomen is and has been distended for about 2-3 weeks because I have difficulty swallowing and experience a sensation of food getting stuck. I've had a 15 pound weight loss since December as well diffuse abdominal pain including i90 pp q sees

I had inguinal hernia surgery on June 29th 2022. I was told it could take 6 months to be fully healed due to the fact my body is producing extra fluid that helps with the healing process that brings nutrients and cells that help tissues repair themselves which creates swelling. Your thoughts Doctor
