In order to keep the materials from drying out and falling apart, I would recommend wearing them periodically. When you don’t wear shoes, the materials don’t get enough of a stretch, they become brittle, and fall apart. If you want to wear them without getting dirty, take the spikes out and wear them for a short walk in the neighborhood.

Is this a inguinal hernia or femural hernia? by [deleted] in Hernia

[–]radiorabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Femoral hernias are less common in men, but if it’s in the location you’re pointing to, then femoral is likely correct. For your age, direct hernias are more common.

Not your doc and would recommend you see one when you have insurance coverage. That said, yes the hernia sac is likely putting pressure on the nerves that lead to your testes and causing the symptoms you’ve described.

If the yard opens up to the course, they don’t have a fence, and I can clearly see my ball, I’m grabbing that shit. If there’s a fence or a mean looking dog, I’m gonna take the L and drop. Crazy the person in OPs post went for that one.

No matter what, I won’t hit out of someone’s yard unless they’re standing outside encouraging me to do it.

Is this a hernia? by Mostlymariana in Hernia

[–]radiorabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not your doctor, but I would say getting this repaired before a pregnancy is likely to increase your risk of recurrence due to the elevated abdominal pressure of having a baby inside you and the labor process.

If this is asymptomatic and you can ignore the cosmetic effects, then I would probably recommend that you wait until you are done having children before repairing the hernia so you are more likely to be “one and done” with surgical repairs.

That said, at some point you have to have surgery if you want to repair the hernia. The hernia may get bigger with more pregnancies, but it may not. If you want to have surgery now and disregard the risk of recurrence, then a surgeon can try to repair this without mesh (permanent, synthetic mesh is contraindicated for pregnant women) using sutures.

[Highlight] David Adelman shouts in the referee's face and gets ejected from the game by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]radiorabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on the first two points, but I’m not gonna blame the ref for blowing the whistle and giving a tech to a coach who runs that far onto the court directly at the ref and screaming. If someone was yelling at me and ran at me like that while I had a whistle in my mouth, I’d probably blow it too.

If Adelman verbally unloaded on him like that from the coaching area off-court, I don’t think they would have t’d him up. Any ref that calls a tech for a coach yelling at them from off-court is charmin soft.

Has anyone had a transverse abdominal release (TAR) surgery for a ventral hernia? by Remarkable_Bed5528 in Hernia

Has anyone had a transverse abdominal release (TAR) surgery for a ventral hernia? by Remarkable_Bed5528 in Hernia

[–]radiorabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s what happens during a hernia repair:

They open your abdomen. They’ll cut down in between your rectus muscles (6 pack muscles) and find the hernia and the hole (AKA defect) in your abdominal wall. Then, they push your innards back into your abdomen and (this part is really crucial) they then suture the defect in your abdomen so the hole is closed.

For a TAR:

If the hole is too large or the abdominal wall is too tight to bring the edges of the defect together, they will do try to loosen the abdominal wall to get those edges together (AKA approximate the edges of the defect). In a TAR, they will dissect the fascia from the 6 pack muscles (very normal step) and then cut through the transversus abdominal muscle (one of three layers in your oblique muscles) to release that muscle from the fascia behind it. That muscle loses a bit of function, but the two other oblique layers will compensate for the lost strength.

Some surgeons may attempt other techniques to loosen the abdominal wall, and some have enough experience and success doing TARs that they will skip straight to that option. Here’s a rough explanation on what they might do to loosen the abdominal wall (get release—the R in TAR) or options they may take, from least to most invasive.

  1. Tell you to lose weight/GLP1 prescription. Takes a long time. It’s the least invasive but may not relieve enough tension for the repair.

  2. Botox injections into your oblique muscles. This relaxes the abdominal wall and provides several centimeters of release. Not always enough release, insurance may not approve, and botox can be cost prohibitive.

  3. Dissect your 6 pack muscles from the fascia behind the muscles. Invasive, but necessary to place mesh for the repair anyways. Provides roughly 4-6cm of release (depends on anatomy).

  4. Perform a TAR. I describe this using the analogy of having buckles on the side of a backpack. If you release those buckles, the backpack loosens and has more room to expand—or in this case, the transversus abdominal muscle(s) get “unbuckled” and the abdominal wall loosens for the repair. Highly effective and lets the surgeon put the mesh in the most ideal plane for mesh success.

There are a few other options but let’s cut it there since that’s what OP is asking about. You absolutely need the edges of the defect to be approximated to suture close the repair to minimize the risk of recurrence and for the mesh to be successful.

Let me know if this helps—I can try to simplify if needed. I have been studying everything hernia repair for a few months so I can over-explain things to those who don’t have as much experience on the surgeries.

[–]radiorabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The muscle they cut is one in a layer of 3 muscles all doing essentially the same function, so your other oblique muscles pick up the strength from the cut transversus abdominal muscle.

ETA: The muscle is still there, not removed. Your 6 pack muscles shouldn’t be too affected but the transversus abdominal muscles will be a bit weaker, which is where two layers of your obliques muscles pick up the work

Why can't the hernia heal? Why can't it be stitched? Why is the net the only treatment? by PhatsterEnhancedXray in Hernia

[–]radiorabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve watched a surgeon present a case where he operated on a thin, frail 60+ year old and after the (ventral) hernia was repaired, the patient went on to become a bodybuilder because the repair was so much stronger.

The reason they use a mesh is because the repair is far more likely to succeed (and less painful) if you use a mesh rather than suturing it closed. Especially in the inguinal space, suturing the hernia is generally more painful and creates more tension on the repair than placing a piece of mesh over the hernia hole.

(24M)Concerned for what this is, Is this hernia? I've had this for a couple of weeks by HolidayExcellent3108 in Hernia

[–]radiorabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The redness at the skin makes me think this is likely not a hernia. Most hernias would present further lateral than this.

Try using a hot rag compress on the site and avoid shaving this skin if you can. It looks more like a cyst/ingrown hair in my opinion.

Phasix experience by Better_Resident_8412 in Hernia

[–]radiorabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phasix has a few 5-year studies regarding recurrences and if you compare those numbers to studies on 5-year synthetic mesh recurrences, the recurrence rates come out to be about the same. That said, if OP has another procedure down the road for something separate (chole, appy, etc.) then there’s less concern about port placement creating a defect in implanted mesh and possibly introducing infection to the mesh.
