Trying to Get A Hernia Diagnosis
As a follow-up to this discussion, we are now perfectly on the right track. We had an appointment with a General Surgeon today who completely supported the findings on my daughter’s Ultrasound….and wasn’t interested in the fact that the CT Scan didn’t reproduce the results. The doctor’s answer was that the Ultrasound is the answer for a correct diagnosis for this condition.
My daughter’s hernia surgery is scheduled for Thursday and will be done laproscopically.What I have learned over the past 3 years is that each time that a medical professional told me that my daughter’s pain was chronic pelvic pain, and that she should take pain meds, it was potentially just a lack of understanding how to diagnose the underlying problem and a lack of understanding how hernia symptoms may present in women.
I need to thank you Dr Towfigh, for the information and support that you have made available. I didn’t stop looking for an answer and I didn’t stop advocating for my daughter…..until we got the right answer. I hope that others are able to benefit from your information as we have.
