Question: The Hi I'm 41 female, with 2 kids, in second delivery in my age 30,it was twin baby got delivered in 8 months 1 week, c section. My womb was so big, after delivery @32 age I got operated for piles. I am getting pain in left side 5 years back went to kidney hospital and did ultrasound scan and confirmed no stone. In last 2 months again got pain like someone stabbing in left hand side stomach and sometimes pain. I got scaned once again, this time they said I have 3 stone 3.5,4.5mm. They gave tablet urimax 0.4mg for 15 days. After 20 days scaned once again they confirmed now stone is clear. After this 2months over still I am getting pain in stomach. They referred to surgeon after meeting surgeon he gave tablet Normaxin RT for 10 days 3 tomes daily. After 10 days again went to him as the pain is not reduced infact it is moving from left to backside. This time he said I am umbilical hernia, it needs to get it operated. Now I am in doubt is it really I got hernia is it something else may be gastritis. Please suggest, sorry to inform I am also taking sizodon MD 0.5 mg from 2 years for

Brief Answer:
Adhesions

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about pain abdomen.

Following is my reply:

1) Umbilical hernia can only be confirmed after examining you. It's better to get second opinion from a different surgeon if you suspect this surgeon is lying. No harm in taking second opinion.

2) As per your history this appears like adhesion in abdomen. After surgery like cesarean, some women develop adhesions between organs like uterus, bowel, bladder etc..

3) These organs cause pain when there is movement as they get pulled. This is effect of adhesions.

4) If pain is severe, you can undergo adhesion release surgery.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
