More hernias. Different places. Prevention?
Hernia--4 surgeries and now another hernia. Both abdominal and inguinal. 70 years matured, trim,healthy, helpful, health conscious. No set predisposing factors except for age (no COPD. constipation, tescular problem, inheritance, etc). What can I do for prevention? Vitamins, supplements, diet, exercise, support? Other than the most adjectives causes any other situation I can address for prevention?
Answer: What is not clear by your press is are these 4 separate hernias, or have you re-herniated. If they are 4 separate ones consequently you suffer from "bad protoplasm". This merely means that you own weak connective tissues and the impediment is what causes the hernia. I know I hold the same condition. Now if you are repairing antiquated surgeries then you call for a better technique for repair. If you went answers you can log onto the North Penn Hernia Insts. website. There you can ask Dr. Goodyear your question and he will respond. All he does is hernias and he is darn good at it. I go from MN to PA to get my right inguinal repaired, and I am glad I did. Good luck.
you might of already have these from long ago and now they are only just big enough to become aware of or cause problems
hopefully this will be your end
