Have you ever had a Hernia? Do you have t have sergery? I am a 30 yr old female.?

Answer 1

Yes I've had a hernia and had surgery to correct it. Its not a big deal. You are real sore for about a week then it gets better really fast. See your doctor because if you dont it will just keep getting worse and the next thing you know your whole gut will be sitting on your knee.

Answer 2

Yes! I have had three hernia surgeries.
The first-umbilical 1993
second right inguinal 2000
second umbilical- 2001
It depends how bad they are.
When the intestine starts sticking out because the muscle doesn't hold it in anymore, and you can't put it back, you will need surgery.
If you start having pain, you will need surgery.
You can take precautions to help yourself not get another one after surgery,
Lose weight
eat protein-it builds muscle
lift things the proper way
don't lift anything too heavy
where an abdominal support
eat fiber so you won't get constipated.
My first hernia was caused from my four pregnancies, after I had surgery I didn't where a support, and I continued to lift so I had it again.
The second one was caused from my cessarian scar ripping.

Answer 3

I am a 35 year old male, and had a hernia when I was 21. It did require surgery. And yes it hurt. Medicine has advanced since then and sometimes a hernia can be fixed with a minor incision. Don't wait too long as it will only get worst. See you doctor, and good luck!

Answer 4

A hernia is when the abdominal wall muscles get weak and your intestines potrude. Hernias can occur most readily if you have been pregnant or had a Cesarean section both weaken the abdominal muscles. The surgery if you get it would just sow up the abdominal muscles together to stop the protrusion.

Answer 5

I had an umbilical hernia and had it surgically repaired. It was a one day in the hospital procedure requiring no overnight stay. The incision was through my navel and left no visible scar, although my bellybutton is now smaller than it used to be. I was fairly tender for a few days, but able to return to work within two days. Tylenol handled my pain just fine.

Answer 6

Hernia
Definition
A hernia commonly refers to the escape of some part of the intestine from the abdominal cavity, through an opening in the abdominal wall. The intestine is pushed out from the inner body, often to a point just below the surface of the skin. When it reaches this point, we have a visible hernia. At first it is about the size and shape of a marble, and grows larger as more and more of the intestine escapes.

Symptoms
Extreme pain in the abdominal area whenever there is an exertion, such as bending over, leaning back or any other small movement involving the abdomen.

Cause
Early in life the male infant can encounter complications. Two months before birth, the testicles descend from the abdominal cavity into the scrotum. They descend through the inguinal canal which soon closes behind them. If the canal doesn't close, however, this could be a later trouble spot for a hernia precipitated by muscle weakness and sudden heavy lifting.

Other causes are from overexertion in lifting which can cause the tear in the abdominal wall.

Herbal Aids
1.BF&C: A number of patients with hernias and ruptures have used the "bone, flesh and cartilage" formula with great success. This formula, which will be given, is applied over the afflicted area as a fomentation a day and night, using a truss or pad to hold in place. Then soak some flannel in this tea and apply. It can also be obtained in a concentrated liquid form or as an ointment. Use whichever type is best in your case. It is also helpful to take the formula internally as a tea, or in capsule or tablet form--two or three of these three or more times per day: This can be purchased under the Christopher name of Bone, Flesh and Cartilage.

Bone, flesh and cartilage (comfrey combination fomentation). This is an aid for malfunction in bone, flesh, sinews, etc. Make a tea of the following herbs: six parts oak bark, three parts marshmallow root, three parts mullein herb, two parts wormwood, one part lobelia, one part scullcap, six parts comfrey root, three parts walnut bark (or leaves), three parts gravel root. Soak the combined teas in distilled water, then soaking four to six hours, simmer thirty minutes, strain and then simmer the liquid down to 1/2 its volume and add 1/4 vegetable glycerine (if desired). Example: One gallon of tea simmered (not boiled) down to two quarts and add one pint of glycerine.

Soak flannel, cotton, or any white material other than synthetics (never use synthetics). Wrap the fomentation (soaked cloth) around the malfunctioning area and cover with plastic to keep it from drying out. Leave on all night six nights a week, week after week, until relief appears.

Drink 1/4 cup of finished concentrated tea with 3/4 cup of distilled water three times in a day.

2.Cleaning Bowels: For hernias we recommend keeping the bowels clear and open through the use of the lower bowel formula, [Fen LB] plenty of fresh juices, a light, mucusless diet to eliminate the strain of bowel movements, and the application of the Bone, Flesh, and Cartilage Formula to the hernia area as a fomentation. All stress and strain on the area must be removed while the area is healing. The fomentation should be applied in the evening so that it can remain on the area all night. During the daytime, the BF&C ointment can be used if the fomentation is inconvenient. BF&C capsules or tea may also be taken daily: either two or three capsules three times daily or three cups of the tea. Continue treatment six days a week fasting with distilled water on the seventh until the hernia is healed.

Testimonials
A friend of mine, who was scheduled for a hernia operation earlier this year, suggested I write to you. After he read your book "The School of Natural Healing" and followed your suggested guidelines for a week to ten days, his hernia problem was solved. Needless to say, he can't say enough good things about your use of herbs and the book.

Answer 7

LOL...yes...girls do get hernias! (ref Charlotte's answer) We have intestines, too, don't we, and abdominal walls? HELLO!?

My answer is yes...I have a hernia that I discovered four years ago, and it is NOT absolutely necessary to have an operation to repair it. If you suddenly have intense pain, or can no longer push it back in, then yes, you should go to your ER immediately, but I have had this all this time and I'm still alive.

Answer 8

Dumb answers, girls get hernia's just like guys. The only way to correct it is with surgery to repair the broken tissue and to put the intestines back where they need to go.
