hello doctor ,my mom is 35 years old.she was suffering from umblical cord hernia ,she got operated on 14 may.what are the precautions she must take.what is the diet she must eat.what is the duration of time in which it gets healed.i also wanted to tell u that our consultant doctor has kept a mesh to repair that hernia so does it have any side afffect
Hello. Welcome to healthcaremagic. The precautions she need to take is avoid heavy weight lifting, avoid constipation and chronic coughing as it can lead to recurrence of hernia. She must be fed with normal diet. The operated wounds would heal in 7 to 10 days. There are no side effects of the mesh.
Wish you a good health.
hi
diet she has to take high fibre diet so that she may not suffer with constipation ,avoid lift weight cough & after healing of stitches do some mild exercise after taking advice by a physiotherapist to avoid recurrence of any type of hernia bec it is just due weakness of muscles.
wish ur mother get well soon .
hi, mesh has no side effect. but recurrancy may happen some times.to avoid that controle wieght, keep her bowel habit regular,do not strain,dont lift heavy object.

It felt a lot heavier so I had my partner take a took and it has dropped massively into my scrotum. what do you recommend I should do? thank you

Hi, I am just a bit concerned, I suffer from constant constipation and experience a small amount of blood after each movement, I have been checked for hemaroids before and there have been found to be none present. Tonight I had a rather painful stool and I ended up with quite a lot of blood present, three to four tablespoons worth. This has never happened before, I have been suffering from terrible adominal cramps and pain for the past six weeks especially before and after a bowel movement. I have also been feeling quite lethargic and rundown and have been nauseaous for months now when it comes to food. I thought I had a stomach bug but am starting to think it may be something else. Can you help me with any advice please?
