A hernia occurs because of a weak spot in the abdominal wall.
This spot is directly visualized during surgery.
They do not operate on the "bump" ( which is actually a segment of intestine). They eliminate the space that the intestine is slipping through.
I've heard that hernias can reoccur at the same site of at the other side. Is there any specific thanks that can be done to strengthen the interior abdominal walls. I'd imagine this inner abdominal wall weakness is the crux of the hernia issue.
Have any heard of ways to prevent hernias or their reoccurring? Perhaps certain exercises or vitamins or foods to support the inner abdominal walls??
Thanks,

Talk about coincidences, I am having an inguinal hernia operated on today. In Australia, laparoscopic.
Once all is said and done is it possible to please provide the total price for all that you encountered in the repair of ur hernia? Different country, I know. Just curious.
And was a mesh installed as a part of the repaid?
Some ssay mesh in best to avoid reoccurance. Others say the mess causes irritatation. Any thoughts on mesh vs. no mesh?
Thank you,

I can't explain this to you then.
Australia Medicare Benefits allow for repair of inguinal hernia and there is no qualifier such as "symptomatic".
At your age the abdominal wall will further weaken with time and surgery will become riskier as well. If I were you I'd get it repaired. Not on an emergency basis, but within say the coming year or so.
This quote is in line with my thinking. I'm 67 now and the abdominal wall may indeed become weaker over time. Sometimes the hernia seems to be pulling down on my stomach area. The only way to prevent the hernia from causing pain in my stomach area is the either hold the hernia in or by taking fiber the night b4. For some reason the fiber keeps the hernia from pulling or causing pain under my navel. So I am actively seeking this repair. I just hope the surgeon is cautious not to injure the urinary or other tracts in this area.. sheesh!
I'm going to begin by having a few tests done. I did have 1 ultrasound done and the tech asked me if it hurt when I urinated. I said sometimes.. apparently the tear is facing the urinary tract..
Then the issue of mesh or possibly of a non mesh solution reoccurring.
Lots to parse and I'm thankful for all who have added their comments to help me see this issue from several sides.. I'm truly grateful..

I have had an inguinal hernia for ovet 5 years. I have been checked by three doctors. Two of them said do nothing and one said get it done before I get too old. One told me that there are two types of inguinal hernia, one which can cause issues for the testicles and one which will cause no issues. I have the latter so I did nothing.
I do regular physical exercise including weight lifting and never had a problem.
What diagnostic method is best to know if my hernia is or will Impact my testicles?? Ultra sound or other??
Thanks nonetheless

This Bangkok hospital offers fixed priced hernia packages but, as always, barring complications.
No hospital will give you any definitive answers until one of their own doctors examines you in person.

I understand this and it kinda makes sense bc there could be complications. Thanks for you insight.

In Thailand recommend this doctor at St Louis hospital in Bangkok :
DR.NARONGSAK JONGSIRI

Cost will vary depending on whether open or laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic is easier on the patient (smaller incision) but technically more3 complex to perform and more costly. This doctor can do either. Note that in case of choosing laparoscopic, it sometimes proves necessary to switch mid-surgery to open approach anyhow and you still have to pay the added laparoscopic cost.
Very approximately, will cost about 125k baht for open approach and 200K for laparoscopic, assuming you opt for semi private room , but need to confirm with the hospital.
I believe you could get this done for less in Viet Nam and there are some quite good private international hospitals there. e.g
(Hanoi) https://www.hfh.com.vn/en/node/30
(HCHM) https://www.vinmec.com/en/
I suggest you contact these first unless you are planning to come to Thailand anyhow. No value added to getting something like this done in Thailand vs. VN....just added cost.
Thank you do very much for your comments. I truly appreciate it.

Hello. I am an older American living in Vietnam. I met a guy who suggested that I should contact Ms. Sheril for direction of who to contact for an inguinal hernia (open) surgery in Thailand. That Ms. Sheril would be able to direct me to which hospital and doctor(s) that would be best. Please Ms. Sheril if you can, suggest surgeons that I can contact for this procedure.
Thank you and all the best,

Brutal Pit Bull Attack Shocks Community; Victim Succumbs to Injuries

It's very interesting how so many ppl are saying to kill the dog and lock up the owner without fully knowing all of the circumstances of this situation. This breed has three types: 1) the straight pitbull terrier, 2) the Staffordshire bull terrier, and 3 ) the mixed breed. Which one is in this story?
The straight pitbull is a more animal-aggressive dog. The Staffie is a more person-aggressive dog. And the mix is just that, a blend of both. The Staffie and the pit look alike because they are both of the terrier breed, but they are really pretty different.
In the States, pit bulls are used mostly as hunting dogs to capture hogs (do an online search for ' hog hunting with pit bulls'). These hunting dogs killed no owners in those situations and are well cared for. Granted, this terrier breed is special, but it does have a place. So, if we are going to kill all of this breed, we should at least have a better understanding of its personality. And should we also kill all the hog-hunting pitbulls too?
A lot boils down to the owner, though, as with any animal. consider the following search term ( pitbull protects family ), and again, a lot depends on the treatment of the animal, whether dog, horse, elephant, or big cat. In certain situations, this dog, when cared for properly and trained, is your very best friend. Your wife, your children, and all of your property are safe with this properly cared for, loved, and adequately trained dog in your home when you are away. They are not all bad.
Just sharing a more balanced understanding of this breed.
