Hello doctor,
I have undergone a hernia operation six months back. But then, I got a similar pain and I was scanned. A small hernia was detected again. Should I get it operated or wait for some time? Please give me a suggestion.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your records (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
You have radiological evidence of a hernia. The worrisome finding in the report is that the opening is a small one with intestinal loops inside. It is safer to get surgery done. Otherwise, we could have taken it lightly. I can understand your difficulty, especially in getting another surgery done, that too not very far apart from the last one.
If you are waiting for a few months, you have to check on the hernia daily.
If no such issues as mentioned above are present, you can take some time. But, you should be careful and can time the surgery according to your convenience.
Do not get worried. Relax and choose a plan. I hope your doubts are cleared. If not, please feel free to consult as needed.
