Guest guest Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 I just had a ventral abdominal hernia surgery on Wednesday of this week. I developed mine about a month ago while boxing. I never had pain and worked out on it for about three weeks, but the doctor said to stay off it. Now its been about three days and I feel fine once again. I'm wondering how long other people have waited before returning to very light training. The problem is I understand how important the " core " region is in everyday day motions and during training, but I want to lessen the detraining effects as much as possible. Any suggestions would help.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Savvy: Several years ago there was a physical therapist in Dallas that solved hernia problems with nothing but exercise. There was a lot to it but it worked. He isn't here any more. I assume it is in the groin area. If so don't let them put in wire mess to hold it together. you'll have problems in the future Hope your day is going well Duke iodine From: savvysavvy22@...Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 17:32:59 +0000Subject: Inguinal Hernia One of my children (adult) has a hernia which has gotten worse over the years.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I am sorry. Just two weeks ago I underwent surgery to fix my inguinal hernia and the surgeon has placed a mesh. I am recovering. But it still pains as it used to before the surgery. The only difference is that "it" doesn't descend down. But I start to feel pain after brisk walk or if I don't lie down every few hours. But this was the story before too. The only change due to surgery is that the intestine doesn't descend down. This is my second surgery in the same region. The first one was 18 years ago when the mesh was not known. The original inguinal hernia and the present one occurred due to my lifting of heavy luggage while traveling. I used defective posture at those moments. I distinctly remember when the first feeling of rupture or muscle tear occurred while lifting the heavy luggage. Now, the surgeon has advised me to avoid weight lifting and any stress on that mesh for 3 months. I am now scared of sex. There are no studies to support these speculative advices of the surgeon. I wish I knew those physiotherapy exercises that you, Duke Stone, mention to ward off the inguinal hernia.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm not sure why this post is in this group,but a HERNIA is a weakening or a tear in the abdominal wall - most common areas are the inguinal or groin areas in men - due to heavy lifting. Very common to use mesh in the repair and YES the testicle will descend but it is VERY common to have swelling in that area for 1-3 months. You can have sex - just not heavy lifting. This is a DEPENDENT area of the body so it will swell for a little longer. I have NEVER heard of physical therapy helping a hole or weakening in our abdominal area. That doesn't even make sense. You can REDUCE a hernia if it is reducible and some people say that helps afterwards by wearing a girdle or strap to support it, but that is temporary. Sounds like the therapist was NOT honest. Physiologically, therapy would be impossible to heal a hernia....surgery is the only " cure " . > > From: Duke Stone dukestone@... > Subject: RE: Inguinal Hernia > iodine > Date: Thursday, June 5, 2008, 11:52 PM > > > > > > > > Savvy: > Several years ago there was a physical therapist in Dallas that solved hernia problems with nothing but exercise. > There was a lot to it but it worked.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I am also not sure why this mail is here. But I was only replying to the mail that was already in. I suspect nutrients like protein and vitamin C should be able to build up the collegian to support and patch up the hole in the abdomenal area? But there has been no study on this. After all its a case of tissue building and tussue building and repair is a function of protein intake.
