Is Obesity a Major Cause of Hernias? Exploring the Relationship Between Obesity and the Need for Hernia Surgery

My mother has been suffering from a large hernia for many years, and she was extremely obese. She previously weighed 85 and was 143 in height. One of the doctors insisted on performing a sleeve gastrectomy to alleviate the consequences of the hernia on her, and the sleeve operation was actually performed, and her mass has reached 28 today. I would like to ask, is it dangerous to leave a hernia without an operation? Is obesity a major cause of hernia? What is the relationship between obesity and hernias, and is it a major cause of hernias? When the hernia is returned to its place, does it pose a danger to the internal organs such as the heart and lungs? Is it necessary to have plastic surgery on the abdomen after hernia surgery? Thank you

Answered on 23rd May '24

The hernia can not be left without surgery as this may lead to severe problems such as incarceration or strangulation. Hernias are a major risk factor for obesity, as surplus weight is a persistent burden for the abdominal wall. Here, the expert will be a general surgeon. Plastic surgery on the abdomen following hernia surgery is not mandatory, but it can be advised in some cases for aesthetic improvement of the region.

What can be done to ease ear infection until we see the specialist

Male | 1

You can use a warm cloth on the affected ear, take an over-the- counter pain reliever, and avoid putting anything inside of your ear. The best thing is to periodically visit an ENT professional immediately after the symptoms set in for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Address lightheadedness during long study sessions.. take regular breaks, stay hydrated, maintain proper posture, have healthy snacks, limit caffeine intake, get fresh air, and consider an eye check up. If lightheadedness persists then seek medical advice. Balance study and self care for better well being and performance.

Can i take antioxidant herbal supplement with escitalopram 10mg and clonezepam 0.5mg

Female | 42

The coexistence of antioxidant herbal supplements with escitalopram 10mg and clonazepam 0.5mg is not recommended unless it is approved by a doctor. Because antioxidant supplements compete with pharmaceutical drugs, they can bring about adverse effects like iatrogenic ones. You should talk with a psychiatrist for proper professional guidance on medications and supplement usage.

The main cause of numbness in the hands is hyperemia in the muscles of the hands. The hyperemia causes increased amount of blood flow. Collagen reduction is another aging factor in the body leading to numbness in the hands. You can consult an orthopedic or a joint specialist to get over this problem

Hello... I would like a suggestion about how to get rid adominal fat.. My weight is normal, less than 60 kg. The rest of my body has normal shape but my waist circumference is around 90. It looks completely out of place.. I eat healthy and I'm not sedentary.. In the past I was overweight. not a lot. i lost all the excess weight, i even weighed less than normal, around 48, ,50. But no matter how little i weighed, the abdomen was still big, it was smaller when i had that way, but anyway it wasnt normal for weighing little. Then i rached the right healthy weight for me but my abdomen never matched the rest. I dont take any pill that could cause this. I had vitamin d deficiency. I've heard it could cause abdominal fat too. What could I do to change this??

Female | 25

Abdominal fat is normally linked to several factors such as genes, lifestyle and hormones. It is important to get advice from an endocrinologist or nutritionist to help explain the underlying cause of your condition. They will recommend particular weight-loss strategies along with treatment that will suit your needs

I am 22 years male. My problem is my voice that's feminine ..my voice is girlish..

Male | 22

The condition is called puberphonia, and occurs when the muscles in your voice box do not grow stronger during adolescence. Symptoms include speaking at a higher pitch than expected for someone of your sex. The good news is that speech therapy can help you deepen your voice so it sounds more masculine. All you have to do is keep practicing the exercises regularly with a speech therapist - you will see progress soon enough.

I am mouma manna I am 20 year women For about 6-7 months, I have cold, cough and fever except for 10 days in 1 month.

Female | 20

Possibly you are suffering from a regularly occurring cold. Some of the common symptoms are runny nose, cold, and fever. Your exposure to viruses can bring this about. Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, and consume a well-balanced diet. Also, consider good hygiene so that the virus does not spread. If your symptoms are still not relieved, see a doctor.

Okay, I have a staphylococcus infection that I am treating. I took a Rocephin injection because other drugs were resistant. After the injection, I was prescribed a drug called ciprofloxacin. I have been experiencing some pain while taking ciprofloxacin.

Male | 20

You're experiencing pain while taking ciprofloxacin, which occurs occasionally during your treatment. This pain may be caused by irritation in your stomach due to the medication. Prolonged exposure to ciprofloxacin can lead to discomfort. It's important to inform your doctor about this so they can advise you on the next steps.
