Hello Dr. Kondekar, for the past 3 or 4 years, every several months or so I contract gastroenteritis (1st time I went to the emergency room and stayed in hospital for 3 days, but they didn't really tell me anything or help so I don't go anymore for this), and it is always accompanied by a hernia into my right testicle. It enlargens to about 4 times the size of normal from something breaching into it. I am 47 and male. The gastro varies in strength (sometimes very painful abdominal contractions for hours, sometimes accompanied by violent vomiting and sometimes not. I obviously would like to know how to prevent this and how to cure it when it happens. Thank you, David My email is YYYY@YYYY
