Posted on Fri, 9 Apr 2021
Question: My husband has a stomach that seems larger than it should be. He has complained about fatigue for a month or so. Today, he complained about pain in his stomach so that he couldn't do anything but rest till it subsided. He has a hernia that needs to be operated on also, but it is very low and close to his genitals.

Brief Answer:
Detailed evaluation is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I couldn’t make out what is meant by large stomach!. Size of the stomach can be measured only with the help of CT scan or MRI.
Since he is having symptoms like fatigue , a detailed evaluation may be needed. An endoscopy is the best tool to look for stomach pathology. You can seek help from a gastroenterologist. As of now avoid hot and spicy food stuffs. Have healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Hernia is quite common in this age group. It can be surgically repaired. It’s a minor procedure and generally done under spinal anaesthesia and will be completed with in 45 minuets. You can consult a general surgeon for hernia. Hernia arises from inguinal region and most often close to genitals. The location doesn’t matter for surgeon.
