I had umbilical hernia surgery 4 months ago. I had a lot of swelling around the site and it has VERY slowly gone down. It still bulges out more and makes my belly look pointy. I am just hopeful that as I give it time, it will go down more. The surgeon said that it can take time.

Hello everyone. I had a double inguinal hernia repair 10 days ago. I had a lot of swelling and bruising in my penis and scrotum but this has since subsided. I also had a lot of swelling in my left calf and ankle...I slept with my legs up on pillows about 1.5 feet high and the next day it was much better..now it is fine. I had a sharp pain in my until day before yesterday...it gets better every day. When I got home from surgery I kept feeling and looking where the hernia was and it was completely flat...now..on both sides...it feels like there is a knot there...almost like a much smaller hernia...however; I recalled before surgery that my surgeon had told me that I might encounter exactly that. He said it was usual and expected and I shouldn't be concerned because it was swelling from fluid which had filled the void of the hernia. I go back to see him in three days and will inform you if there is something else going on.
Btw...my surgeon came in before surgery...asked me if I minded if he said a prayer before we went to the OR...I was okay with that and he said a very nice prayer, asking for guidance, etc. and before I left the hospital he came in and visited briefly; giving me some last minute advice..don't lift anything over ten pounds, etc. and to make an appointment for two weeks out. I was out taking a walk the day after I got home and things have progessed pretty much as I had hoped. I am a 57 year old male.

I left out a word in one sentence. I had a sharp pain in my .... abdomen... about half way between my belly button and the actual hernia on the right side....

So, I did go see the surgeon and he told me that the hard swelling I was experiencing was not the hernia recurring but fluid that had filled up the space where the hernia was. He has done over 4000 of these procedures...so...he knows. He also said that guys who have both sides done usually have pain more on one side or the other. Everything he said is normal...don't need to make another appointment. He said it might take several months for the swelling to go down, but that it would. In rare cases he said he has had to remove the fluid but generally it dissipates slowly all by itself.

My doctor said to see him in weeks to see if it goes away or what he will have to do about it if not gone.

I've notices that the pain and swelling is signifacantly worse about 6 hours after taking ibprofen or half of a 5/325 oxycodone/acetiphetimine. I am 15 days post operations of an inguinal hernia repair. I have taking a total of 3.5 pills fearing the risk of dependancy. The pain I've been through due to pain killers is much more severe then the pain of this hernia.
