Incarcerated unbillical hernia diagnosis |

Dear Ask The Doctor: How is an incarcerated unbillical hernia diagnosed? , and is it possible for a doctor to diagnosis one with an incarcerated unbillical hernia just by physically looking at the person, and the person never complained of any pain what so ever. The reason I asked is because my primary doctor referred me to a surgeon for the removal of an atopic breast tissue, in the process of my consultation he said I have a hernia and its just a minor fix, which he could do during my main surgery because fixing it will help my bowel movement, I never complain about my bowel to him. I had both surgery almost a month ago but I feel a nut in my belly which i dont remember being there before. I went to the hospital and asked for my medical record and found out that not only did the surgeon diagnosed me with incarcerated unbillical hernia, it was coded in as my main surgery is that right? Dear Tomiwa: Some adults have an umbilical hernia because of obesity, pregnancy, or excess fluid in the abdomen (ascites). They diagnose it simply by looking at it and sometimes ultrasonography. The doctor has taken all the proper steps, but i would visit them for a follow up. |
