What can happened if you have a hernia beside your ball sack?
This is likely an inguinal hernia - one that follows a small canal made by the testes descending into the scrotum during development. If you have a hernia it will most likely hurt like crazy - the worst case scenario is called strangulation - where the hernia pushing through cuts off its own blood supply and the tissue begins to die. Hernias are mainly composed of small intestinal tissue and if this begins to die it could have serious consequences. The surgical treatment for a hernia is now a very simple, routine operation. The muscle it is pushing through is cut, the hernia placed back inside the abdomen and a small piece of strong mesh is sewn into the area under the skin. This mesh reinforces the area the hernia pushed through and stops it happening again. If you have a hernia you should see a doctor - they see tons of them so there's nothing to worry about!
What are the types of hernia?
The different kinds of hernia are listed below: * Congenital hernia: occur in babies, present from birth. * Inguinal hernia: common in sportsmen, involves part of the bowel protrudibng into the groin * Hiatus hernia: involves the stomach, where it enters the chest cavity via the hiatus. * Incarcerated hernia: where the hernia has swollen up. * Reducible hernia: one that can be manipulated back into place easily, much like a dislocated joint can be repositioned with relative ease. * Irreducible hernia: can't be returned to its original position without surgical intervention. * Strangulated hernia: potentially fatal, as it means the bood supply has been cut off by the hernia. There are even more types, each with their own subtle variations. These can be viewed from the link. [source: adapted from First Aid, by Geddes and Grosset]
What are the symptoms of a hiatil hernia?
Unlike a sports hernia, a hiatal hernia affects the core, often in the diaphragm or the abdomen directly. In many cases, there are actually no symptoms for this type of hernia. That said, others may have heartburn related to gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. Surgery is often needed because the hernia can become restricted and blood supply to that affected area can be restricted or cut off entirely.

How long will you be off work after cruciate ligament surgery?
it depends on certain factors, like what kind of jobs you are doing, how your body responds to the operation eg. serious vommitting after the operation due to GA and how you feel after the operation. even though one can normally walk with crutches a day after the operation or the day itself, it is quite imposssible to walk long distances due to the discomfort of your leg. the constant discomfort, even with painkillers, might put you off from going to work, but it usually lasts for 1 to 2 weeks, after which one can walk, albeit with the help of crutches, or crutch, with minimal pain and discomfort, though there will be a slowdown in speed. time will also be needed to do rehab everyday by oneself or with the help of a physiotherapist
