Suggest Treatment For Incisional Hernia
Question: Hi, I have incisional hernia a bulge between my hip bone and pelvic and it aches in my groin and the side of my waist now I feel pressure under my rib age is it possible that it is the hernia pushing up under my lungs
Brief Answer:
Not possible
Detailed Answer:
HI.
Let us simply this.
You have got an Incisional hernia in lower abdomen that is causing aches in groin and side of waist. This is due to local swelling and pressure locally.
The hernia is out-pouching. so this hernia should not cause any pain under the rib-cage. It is not possible that this hernia can push up under your lungs.
Sometimes the hernia contents when go down can pull on the mesentery, a thick membrane on which the small intestine hangs. A pull at the base of this mesentery can cause a pain nearing the feeling you have, of pressure under the rib cage
