Irritable Bowel Syndrom (IBS) and hernias
quote :yes, fat containing hernias can cause GI symptoms, such as bloating, but usually not of cramping, unless it is a muscle cramp (not intestinal cramp).in most situations, I make the correlation between hernia and activity-related symptoms. I do not necessarily have to see the actual intestine stuck in the hernia to make a convincing diagnosis. It is thus not critical to get an ultrasound, for example, immediately at the time of a hernia attack.
Dr. T,
Can fecal material moving through an area of recent (7 month) inguinal repair cause pain? I’ve mentioned in another thread I am trying to figure out if my pain is IBS or post-surgical related. Also, do you know if the area in the inguinal region also contains the sigmoid colon?
One other thing to mention is that when this pain started over 2months ago, I was also feeling some twitching inside at the site of repair. It would last for a min or two and I felt it off/on for several days, but not recently.
