groin discomfort after 3 months laparoscopy
hi everyone, I write from Italy. 3 months ago I underwent a right inguinal hernia in laparoscopy. the post-operative was really very difficult. the first week severe pain from lying in bed, then slowly the pain is gone. now after 3 months I still have a nuisance focused on the upper part of the groin let’s say near the hip to understand each other. even at rest, or lying down. some days more others less, sometimes it seems to me to be fine then all of a sudden again annoyances. they are not incapacitating, also because I played five-a-side football and went back to the gym with very light weights and I had no sharp pains or pains. just an almost constant feeling of annoyance. I often wake up in the morning with this annoyance, as if there is something pulling. something that is skewered inside the groin. do I have to worry? do I have to spend more time? should I do an ultrasound? sorry for the thousand questions but this thing does not make me sleep. Thanks to those who will help me.

guys thanks a lot for the answers, [USER=”3098″]deeoeraclea[/USER] fortunately I during the training or after I have no problems, the annoyance remains but does not increase. there are days that I’m fine I would say, especially sunny days[USER=”2029″]Good intentions[/USER] I read and they told me that healing can last up to 1 year. hopefully well, i would say i’m not bad but i was hoping i wouldn’t be bothered after months.

Three months is still early. Things will keep changing, slowly. It’s not uncommon to feel stiffness or pulling sensations in the area of the mesh implant. It is well established that the mesh and the tissue around it shrink. Based on how scar tissue changes over time, your best option is probably to avoid overstressing the area, hoping that it will slowly relax over time.
Study how wounds heal and you might feel more comfortable about your problem and understand better how to handle it. Here is one source, linked below, but there are many more, out there on the internet. God luck.

“Cross-linking of collagen reduces scar thickness and also makes the skin area of the wound stronger. Generally, remodeling begins about 21 days after an injury and can continue for a year or more. “

I don’t have much help to offer. But, I can say that I am 4 months after a right inguinal hernia laparoscopy repair, and i also have pain/tightness near my right hip bone (and my pubic bone). It is constant and annoying and exercise makes it worse.
