Hi. I noticed a lump on my belly when getting out of bed,rather large so looked online at hernia s and that seemed the most likely.

dec 2013 i had a groin hernia opp at the navel hospital in sattahip and so off i went to see the doctor. However the reaction of the doc got me worried, she went and got another doc and the result is i am going for a scan . So it could be something other than a hernia and not so straight forward as i thought. My last opp was not expensive and i was looked after well . This time the scan

is expensive 12.000 bht and will have to wait for the results before i will know the treatment and cost. Insurance i could not get due to age and past ailments so i have to hope for the best. At least its not painfull and if its something nasty i have got it checked early but then again i dont know how long its been in there.

cant win em all can you..

Well good luck, and let us know the scan results. Not much can be said until that's known.

I'm in a similar position. Going back for more tests Thursday. Scared, very scared (lonely).

Hugs to you.

I dont know what the scan is looking for realy but i went today was scaned and went home . Later i got a call from the hospital .My wife spoke to them and i have to go back tomorow for an aidio scan as the laser scan dident show anything. Its quite big which is confusing as the scan today dident see it. 12.000 bht and it couldent see anything. Ah well back tomorow then next day to see doc . I tend to look on the bright side but as you get older you find it harder because you are more vunerable. I hope yours goes well plus thursdays tests .try to look on the bright side. pete

Thanks. Hopefully sounds quite good for you if they didn't see anything.

I'll be hopeful for the both of us.

HI I went back yesterday for ultra sound but was told it wasent needed. was told if i waited he would write a report and i could see a doc for the results. So i waited to save going today. The problem is my belly mustle has split and when i flex it it comes up as a big lump. He said if there was no pain to leave it but if painfull then they would sew it back together. I will need to go back for a scan in six month to check on it. The scan also showed i have a syst on each of my kidneys, small stones in my gaulbladder, and somthing else i cant remember but no problem YET. He did however say i have small liesons on my liver and i have to go back for blood test in two weeks as these may be a problem. So no emergancy but no all clear either . The trouble with getting old i surpose......pete

Hope everything is okay!

Sounds alright for you I think. Definitely no emergency if they're leaving you alone for a fortnight.

My tests didn't show anything, i.e. my nervous system tests as normal, though that actually rules out a simple (and cheap) diagnosis. Now, it could be anything.

What you describe sounds like a small hernia.

Cysts on the kidneys (as opposed to inside them) are common and usually need no treatment. The best management for aysmptomatic gallstones is a matter of debate/uncertainty but moist doctors would advise doing nothing until/unless symptoms develop. Liver lesions -depends entirely on what type.

that is more or less what the doc said but he dident go into detail with the liver lesions just said to go back in two week for blood test.What these will show i dont know. The cysts stones and hernia give me no pain and unless they do i will be happy to ignor them. the liver lesions i have no idea about but the doc is not ignoring those. I have confidence in the doctors at this hospital after my hernia opp last december so no doubt i will find out next visit. pete

Good Luck you guys. Please let us know what's up when you find out.

Almost 2 weeks... any updates you two?

Huy guys, I went today monday and had a blood test, saw the doc and he said liver function normal so i am just due another scan in six month to see if the tear in my mustle has got any bigger. If not and still no pain leave it be, if bigger or painfull stitch it up. So alls well for the time being. Cheers peteinpatts..
