Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Pain After A Hernia Operation

I had surgery for a hernia that was located in the upper stomach area and lower breast area. My doctor repaired it and put mesh from underneath my breast area to about above my bellybutton. I am really hurting in the area of where my hernia was. It's been a little over 4 weeks since surgery.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of hernia repair surgery with mesh 4 weeks ago for the upper left part of the hernia.
The commonest causes of pain in such a case are:
Nerve entrapment.
Abscess formation.
If intestinal symptoms are there , the intestinal obstruction.
and so on.
The diagnosis can be done by:
- Clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon.
Ultrasonography and the treatment will depend upon the cause thus found.
I find this answer helpful
