My story- new hernia- long Hx
Ultrasound confirms inguinal hernia and CT from 6 months ago shows Umbilical hernia (see below)
Questions:
Does pelvic floor-specifically rectocele need to be addressed prior to hernia repair-will it effect outcome of hernia repair for pain relief?
Should umbilical hernia (no pain) be addressed at the same time of the inguinal hernia?I called UofM–first appt was in May 2017. That’s pretty far out -and I would want to have surgery in March or April at the latest.
Thank you
