What are the risks of having Inguinal hernia repair surgery?
OK, looks like my cue. The benefits outweigh the risks. 1. Like all surgeries you risk infections like pneumonia, dead tissue being missed and bad hospital food. Compare that to being too far from a hospital if the hernia should break or get an internal infection. Not to mention that a break might fill into the scrotum and make you loose your testes. 2. A doctor can always make a mistake, but the work done for an inguinal is at the pubic line and not the genitals. In fact, it takes reproductive risk away. 3. (Mine was an emergency op and laparotomy.) I waited three weeks before I could move freely and walk to exercise. Five weeks later I was back at work under light duty. I put off seeing what my third testicle was about because it didn't hurt. (Fun having a bit more mass for loving with too.) Looked it up and figured it came from a fall or heavy lifting at work. Cut to a month later, factory work, and a fork truck had stacked the parts tubs too high. I strain and stretch and lift a heavy tub almost on my toes. For the first time it hurts when it gurgles. With twice the size and now like a squeeze bag, I took the hernia to a hospital and they didn't give me a truss. With surgery a month away I'm sent home. I rest but didn't get told to lay rather than sit. With no support for three weeks the hernia got bigger. The weight of it made my penis go numb if I laid on the wrong side with it full. Ten days before the operation I got up to pee and picked a dropped needle off the floor. The hernia twisted (incarcerated hernia) in a way that let in the chicken soup, but not out. An unreducable hernia is bad enough. Peristalsis pumps my sack to the size of a big grapefruit by the time I reach the operating table. My belly hurt but my testes went into shock. Post Op. events aside, it is still best to get your hernia seen to as soon as you can.
What are some treatments for abdominal evisceration?
Honestly? Probably a strong sedative.An abdominal eviscertation is mostly only damaging to your intestines, but it would take a surgeon days to sew them all back up again. Your going to die from sepsis after smearing the bacteria and contents of your guts all over your chest cavity in a few hours, and just trust me (google some pictures if you don't , I DARE you) sepsis is an awful way to die.Its also nearly always fatal, and even if they do sew your guts back up you’ll be on IV food for weeks, IV antibiotics for longer then that, and then the FUN part of healing starts where you try not to tear one of the still healing wounds from eating, and again get sepsis and die before you realize it happens.This isn't to say a doctor won’t try to save you, and might even do an excellent job and somehow you’ll live, but he’s also going to know the odds, and living in this case might be the worse option.
Is hernia repair possible without mesh?
Yes, there are many options to repair a hernia without using a mesh. Sutures have been safely used instead of meshes for decades, and even if many claim that hernia surgery without mesh is more prone to reopening, this is not necessarily true in all circumstances. Repairs done with continuous absorbable sutures, for example, significantly improved the outcomes of many patients, with much lower risks of recurrence and abdominal pain than mesh hernia repairs.The problem with hernia meshes is that many of them are unsafe or even defective devices. In the United States, thanks to the infamous 501k approval process, the FDA cleared many low-quality meshes that were insufficiently (if ever) tested on human beings only because they were “similar” to other devices in the same category. As a consequence many mesh hernia surgeries were associated with very severe and gruesome complications ranging from organ adhesions, intestinal occlusion, chronic pain and organ perforation. Some clinical trials found that up to 60% of the patients involved eventually experienced mesh shrinkage, adhesions, or migration of the device.Eventually, after countless patients filed a lawsuit, starting one of the largest litigations in United States history, the FDA itself acknowledged that meshes are linked to a concerningly high occurrence of bowel obstructions and perforations.So, my best advice is to avoid a hernia mesh repair no matter what. Regardless of the risk of reoperation, it is much better to suffer from a recurring hernia than to deal with a perforated organ or with permanent adhesions.

Uterine prolapse questions ?
I have just been told today by My GYN that I have a uterine prolapse. Its stage one but getting worse. She has recomended a total hysterectomy removing my uterus and cervix. I'm OK with that as I don't anymore children. I've had several painfull cysts on my left ovary but She said She wanted me to try to keep both, because of my age. I am 28 have had 1 child,1 tubal pregancy, 2 medically necessary abortions and finally my tubes tied. I've been married 6 months and only able to have sex 4 times this is ruining my sex life (painfull and spoting afterward), not to mention its pressing on my bladder and I can't even use a tampon anymore. I was even spotting after My OB giving me a very gentle exam. My questions are.. 1. Is a abdominal hysterectomy better than the Vaginal one ? Is it true the vaginal one will make sex uncomfortable after ? 2. I just started a new job and stand all day, is this safe until surgery? 3. Will 1 ovary work as good as 2 if I have the bad one removed?
