Watch this video before your HERNIA surgery

Are hernia meshes dangerous. There is a lot of information out there. Dr. Hilsden gives you the real story behind hernia meshes.

The mesh is so thin nowadays they won't Allow you to touch it cause it's that easy to rip in half.

useful, thanks

[@EricPresleyElvisE]

Great information, thank you. I have a left direct inguinal hernia, for one year.. Now it has grown, become painful, and dropped down into my scrotum. how serious is this ? Glad I subscribed.

[@RichHilsden]

This should absolutely be fixed. Please find a local surgeon and get a consultation. Good luck, and thank you for the subscription

@@RichHilsden Thanks, I go to Miami Hernia Center. Tuesday for exam.

Would an inguinal hernia cause or aggravate varicocele? Also is it true an inguinal hernia would cause pelvic pain?

Great video, are you on the east coast or west coast,

[@RichHilsden]

I am on the east coast... Canadian actually, very close to the Detroit Windsor boarder

Im terrified of getting the mesh, ill wear the trust apparatus indefinitely 😢

[@joannelabastide9008]

Please don't be. I stayed an extra year trying to cope with my hernia. I eventually had the surgery. I didn't even have pain after and didn't need pain meds. I felt so good that I ask my Dr. For permission to hug him in my 1 week visit after. Coney Island hospital for me is the best.

I can see the mess would be stronger if your body didn’t reject it and if it does it’s a mess for rest of your life with pain and suffering

I best he got paid good

[@TheArnebaby]

Exactly. It happened to me and it’s a nightmare. Forget their ‘recurrence’ obsession. Mesh is a ticking time bomb. It can rip and erode even 5 years after or later.

Don’t do mesh it’s barbaric

[@rhymereason3449]

More "barbaric" than a 10X increased risk you'll be back in the operating room again with a stitched only repair?

[@torqueofthedevil8145]

@@rhymereason3449 Your view contradicts the facts and statistics, mesh repairs are primarily driven by cost and lack of skills

Exactly, thank you.
