Abdominal pain

  • I have had some pain feeling as pulling stretching between the middle of my penis to the right hip. This pain comes from time to time and is relieved if I can empty my bladder or pass some gases or have a bowel movement and this is not always possible. My urologist says it is not caused by the urogenital system, the surgeon who operated on my hernia says it is not a hernia and I had a colonoscopy 2 months ago which showed no abnormalities. Does anybody have any suggestion what this can be or how to explore this further?


  • I wish I could help you there but unfortunately the policy of our forum requires us to remain anonymous to customers and the customers anonymous to us. This is why both you and I use usernames instead of our real identities. Even if it would add to the credibility of my research I would be prohibited from providing contact information or obtaining contact information from you outside of this forum. Good research contains links which serve to confirm the validity of the information. You can see from my links that the information I offer is valid and I assure you that your physician will recognize the term "adhesions" when you bring the subject up. If it is helpful, print off the pages I offered you and take those to your doctor. If he/she graduated from a reputable medical school I promise you that he/she will know what you are talking about almost immediately. Regards; tutuzdad-ga


  • Your research indeed exceeds my expectations and you certainly deserve a 5-star excellent rating. but since you say that if I have any questions about your research to post a clarification request PRIOR to rating the answer I would like to find out how I or my doctors can get in touch with you PRIOR to rating. If that is impossible I will rate the question anyway as soon as I hear from you.


  • adhesions, as commonly referred to, don't occur with hernia surgery; adhesions generally refer to scar tissue within the abdominal cavity, and hernia surgery usually is not done within the abdominal cavity. It's certainly possible, however, to have scar tissue within the hernia operation that could cause sensations you describe. If that's what it is, it may improve over time (you didn't say how long ago your surgery was, but it could take a year or more to stabilize.) It's possible to have entrapment of a nerve within the scar, as well. This can be treated variously by injecting the area with a steroid solution, or in some cases by operating to free the nerve. Assuming you had a hernia repaired in this area, I'd consider nerve entrapment a possible explanation. Of the possible treatments, reoperation is a last resort.


  • Dear vaac-ga; Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question. Read this very infromative article and the related links. It often refers to problems associated with women but I assure you this is not a gender specific anomaly exclusively. Many men, and even children, can and do suffer from adhesions following surgical procedures of all types and it is commonly listed as one of the most frequent risks of surgery. INTERNATIONAL ADHESIONS SOCIETY http://www.adhesions.org/ptguide.htm Another article focused more on problems encountered by men can be found here: IAS MEN'S SECTION http://www.adhesions.org/men.htm Adhesions are basically bands of fibrous tissue or internal scars that forms between two tissues of the body during the healing process that often inhibits or interferes with a person’s ability to stretch freely or properly in a way the body was naturally designed to move. In some severe cases the adhesion can attach to the bowel or other passages to cause a strangulation or obstruction, which in turn results in acute pain in the area of the occlusion. If you have an invasive procedure, like a hernia correction for example, it is possible that some tissues might have grafted together improperly or attached themselves via scar tissue to other surrounding tissues. This is known as a postoperative adhesion. Adhesions can be diagnosed using a procedure called “diagnostic laparoscopy”, wherein a tiny camera is inserted into the abdominal area and a visual inspection is made to determine if adhesions exist. If the condition warrants, a similar procedure called an “adhesiolysis” can be done to correct it. Other sources of interest concerning the topic of adhesions can be found here: WHAT ARE ADHESIONS? http://www.adhesions.org.uk/adhesions.html ADHESIOLYSIS (SURGICAL REMOVAL OF ADHESIONS) http://www.urogynecologychannel.com/lap_proc8a_old.shtml To be fair, I should mention though that some studies suggest that time rather than surgery is the best healer of adhesions: SURGERY FOR ADHESIONS NOT JUSTIFIED Reported by Susan Aldridge, PhD, medical journalist http://www.healthandage.org/Home/gid1=3688 Of course, nothing we can say here in any way suggests that this is your problem and one would never accept information they receive anonymously via the interest as a diagnosis or medical advice. I recommend you see your physician armed with this new information and make inquiries about the likelihood of adhesions as a possible cause of your unusual abdominal pain. I hope you find that my research exceeds your expectations. If you have any questions about my research please post a clarification request prior to rating the answer. Feel free to use my search strategy (below) to find additional data if you need to. Otherwise I welcome your rating and your final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

  • Has your doctor ruled out adhesions? This is when tissues abnormally fuse together following a procedure. Would you like more information about this condition as an answer? regards; tutuzdad-ga


  • Yes, I would like more information on adhesion
