Reoccuring Hernias Posted: 10-27-04 19:47pm
I am 35 year old woman and in the past 5
years I have had 8 hernia's and 5
operations to repair them with no luck
..... I have yet another hernia. I have
had umbilical hernia, ingunial hernia's
and a femeral hernia is the new one. All
my hernias are the result of bowel
movenemts. All I seem to be doing is
going to the surgeon for repair but never
to take a look to see why I keep getting
them. Is there anybody else that has had
these problems?? Heeeelllllllppppp!!!!!!

Hernia Posted: 10-28-04 02:43am
Hello,
i have experienced this also. In the last
2 years I have had 2 hernia repair
surgeries the last one this past july 04.
Do you know your family history with
hernias? This may very well be hereditary
chances are if one of your parents have
weak (in my case stomach muscles) you will
too. My mom has had her hernia for years
and has not taken action to repair it.
These as you know can be life threatening.
I would say talk to you doctor and tell
them your concerns exactly. Keep making
appointments and telling your doctor, even
switch doctors if they don't address your
concerns.
I hope everything works out.
Nelly

Thank you for responding, I have no family
history with hernia's. Mine all are from
trying to have a bowel movement. I can
pin point the exact time they occur so
that only adds to the frustration. Ih ave
an appointment with yet another surgeon to
discuss what to do about my recent hernia.
I'm just tired of being cut on at this
point
