What Causes Abdominal Pain After Hernia Repair Surgery?
I have had 2 abdominal hernia repair surgeries. I have had my gall bladder, & appendicts removed and I have had a complete hysterectomy with cervix removed. Last week I developed severe pain where my hernia was repaired. I have taken it easy for days now today it has flared back up. It hurts to move,sneeze, cough, have a bowe movement etc. I am having difficulty getting up out of bed upon waking. I am now retaining fluid to the point my fingers and feet burn. What do you think could be wrong. Also my stomach always appears and feels bloated.

Hello,
The abdomen pain after hernia repair surgery can be part of underlying adhesions stretching the overlying fascia or other structures. In my clinic, after thorough clinical assessment, I do recommend an ultrasound of the abdomen pelvis with or without CT scan to find out the root cause and manage accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
