    Hidden Internal Hernia? At My Wits End!

    Dr. Towfigh,

    I am absolutely desperate for your advice! I ended up in the ER after vomiting for four hours. They still couldn’t visualize a defect or hernia on U/S, BUT I KNOW ITS THERE! HOW do I PROCEED! 🙁 O

    Hidden Internal Hernia? At My Wits End!

    I spent 14 hours at Umass General where I had CT Scan done that showed swirling. I had a repeat scan yesterday at a local hospital because I had vomited from 8p-12am. I’ve been told by my surgeon and the hernia specialist that my only hope now is to catch it on a musculoskeletal ultrasound. It is just getting it to pop out for him. 🙁

    If I pop it out, could it cause the area around it to swell making it more of a challenge to pop out? If it was an internal hernia, can it be reduced and not visualized?
