Is It Normal For Abdomen To Keep Filling With Fluids After Hernia Repair
I had bilateral spagellian hernias repaired and glalbladder removed in Oct 2013. I have had my stomach asperated multiple times. Then the surgon had me go to ultra sound and have it asperated this way as well. Now, I feel and see my stomach swelling again. Is this normal to keep filling with fluid?? Additionally they have me still wearing a admonial sling.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this is not normal if your stomach is filling with the fluid this condition is called ascites if this is the ascites then underlying cause of this need to be ruled out and this is very important unless you treat the underlying cause the fluid would keep filling continuously hope this information helps you have a nice day.
