When a hernia mesh causes infection after surgery would it cause your foot to swell?

Yes it could because the area affected by the infection is where there are many lymph nodes. And, the pressure on them from the excess fluid would interfere with the lymphatic flow that drains the foot, so it would swell, or can cause edema.

∙ 10y agoThat is possible because the hernia may cause obstruction to the lymphatic vessels. Many lymphatic vessels that are clustered in that area and if they cannot remove the excess fluid it could cause swelling further down the leg and foot.

Can a hernia pass a urinary tract infection to another person?
I had double hernia's last year, and I had two bladder infections leading to it. The doctor told me I probably had the hernia's for a few years. Since I had the hernia's repaired, I haven't had a bladder infection since. Personally I blame the bladder infections on the hernia's, the doctor said it was possible. My health was perfect (other then the hernia's) when I got the bladder infections, the chances are good in my option it "could" be the cause of a UTI.
