    Alternatives to mesh

    As usual brilliant answer by Dr.Towfigh.In this part of the world(India) pain incidences (early and chronic) of 20 percent and 3 percent appear to be higher than what we actually see.I have not published on this but I think the incidences of such pain are 10 percent and 1 percent approximately,much lower than western world.My take on this is, our patient are far too busy in making a living they are kind of immune to such pain,it being highly subjective feeling!!

    Transparency in pricing for surgery

    One can only quote surgical fee,or packages for straight forward operations.Any complex procedures in patients with multiple comorbidities cannot have a fixed package.

    It is available as Chymoral Forte in India.Serratiopeptidase is also combined with some analgesics to reduce PO In duration and oedema.May be Dr.Towfigh can tell you about US commercial name for this molecule.

    Hidden hernia or pudendal pain symptoms?

    Low back pain is never due to hernia,while groin pain can be.I would suggest you get your lumbosacral spine investigated.
