Surgeon challenging Radiologist’s CT scan
quote :jzinckgra, indeed I am only a patient as well, but to me your CT report seems very detailed and specific. I personally have never had a report even close to that detailed but it probably depends on the radiologist and how much they feel like investigating and reporting.With that said I do know it is a very common belief of many doctors and clinics to think that if you do not have the big bulge than you do not have a hernia. On the other hand there is a lot of evidence on this forum and elsewhere to suggest that is not always the case.
Interestingly, I do have a bulge, but it is one of fluid, not fat or intestine. It comes and goes depending on body position. Earlier US report said possible communication between peritoneum and scrotum or vice versa. Nobody seems to know where the fluid is coming from, but seems obvious and likely it has something to do with herniated fat.
