If a person has a bullet inside his abdominal area and would like it removed after his surgery heals but needs an hernia operation could he still have it removed after the operation?
If a person has a bullet inside his abdominal area and wants it removed after his hernia operation, it is up to the doctor to decide if it can be safely removed after the operation.

What exactly is a ventral hernia?
Ventral hernia occurs when part of the contents of the abdominal cavity-; most often a piece of intestine that protrudes through the cavity and into the abdominal wall. Normally, the muscles and tissues that line the cavity keep the organs inside. Surgery is required and usually done with laparoscopic surgery, but, if there is a 'strangulation hernia' cutting off blood supply then a more extensive surgery will be done.

Can you get a belly button peircing if you have a hernia?
I would say no. A hernia is inside your stomach and you have a lump around your belly button. So my guess would be if you have a hernia, you can't get your belly button pierced.

Is it possible to feel your hernia one day when breathing in deeply and then it go away the next?
Yes, it is possible to feel your hernia one day and then not the next, this is called a reducible hernia, and is a good thing. Since a hernia is just a pouch of your intestine pushing through an area of your abdominal wall, many people can push their hernia back through the defect in the abdominal wall and into their abdominal cavity. It is when you can no longer "reduce" your hernia where problems arise. A hernia that cannot be pushed back into the abdominal cavity or is "unreducible" is called an incarcerated hernia and can pose more problems mainly because as intestinal contents flow through the intestine they can become "stuck" as they too pass through the area of intestine protruding through the abdominal wall. If you become unable to move your bowels or are vomiting for what seems like no reason, it may be a sign that your hernia is causing intestinal contents to back up in your system and you should see a doctor for an evaluation. Additionally, an incarcerated hernia can turn into a "strangulated" hernia because while the intestines are stuck in this defect in your abdominal wall, the blood flow to this portion of intestine becomes blocked. This causes the area of intestine to become necrotic or "die" and lead to serious problems, surgery would be your only option. Signs of this would be intense pain at your hernia site as well as vomiting. So I would suspect that on days where you cannot feel your hernia it is because that portion of intestine has worked its way back into your abdominal cavity, this is not to say that you are healed, and in fact the next time you cough or strain and the pressure inside your body increases the hernia will likely bulge out again (the only way to fix a hernia for good is surgery). A reducible hernia isn't a huge deal, but over time your chances for it to develop into either an incarcerated or strangulated hernia increase, so you have to weigh the risks and benefits on deciding if surgery would be a good idea for you or not.

What is Hernia?
A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal wall have weakened, resulting in a bulge or tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a balloon-like sac. This can allow a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push into the tear. In some patients, the hernia can cause discomfort, pain, or other potentially serious problems that require emergency surgery. Dr Saurabh Kate is one of the best hernia specialist in sangamner.
Inguinal hernia repair?
DefinitionInguinal hernia repair is surgery to repair a hernia in the abdominal wall of your groin. A hernia is tissue that bulges out of a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Your intestines may bulge out through this weakened area.During hernia repair, this bulging tissue is pushed back in. Your abdominal wall is strengthened and supported with sutures (stitches), and sometimes mesh.Alternative NamesHerniorrhaphy; Hernioplasty - inguinalDescriptionYou will probably receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free) for this surgery. If your hernia is small, you may receive local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. You will be awake but pain-free.In open surgery, your surgeon will make an incision (cut) near your hernia.Your surgeon will find the hernia and separate it from the tissues around it. Then your surgeon will remove the hernia or push it back inside your abdomen.Your surgeon will close your weakened abdominal muscles with stitches. Often a piece of mesh is also sewn into place to strengthen your abdominal wall. This repairs the weakness in the wall of your abdomen.Your surgeon may use a laparoscope instead of doing open surgery.A laparoscope is a thin tube with a tiny camera on the end that allows your surgeon to see inside this area. Your surgeon will make 3 or 4 small incisions in your lower belly and insert the laparoscope and other small instruments through them.The same repair will be done as the repair in open surgery.The benefits of this surgery are a faster healing time and less scarring. Laparoscopic surgery may not be recommended for larger or more complicated hernias.Why the Procedure Is PerformedYour doctor may suggest hernia repair surgery if you have pain or your hernia bothers you during your everyday activities. If your hernia is not causing you problems, you may not need surgery. But, these hernias do not go away on their own, and they may get larger. Sometimes the intestines inside of a hernia can become trapped. This can be life threatening. If it happens, you would need emergency surgery right away.RisksRisks for any surgery are:Reactions to medicinesBreathing problems, such as pneumoniaHeart problemsBleedingInfectionRisks for this surgery are:Long-term pain in the incision areaDamage to other blood vessels or organsDamage to the testicles if a blood vessel connected to them is harmedReturn of the herniaBefore the ProcedureAlways tell your doctor or nurse if:You are or could be pregnantYou are taking any drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescriptionDuring the week before your surgery:Several days before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking drugs that make it harder for your blood to clot. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), naprosyn (Aleve, Naproxen), and other drugs like these.Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of surgery.On the day of your surgery:Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery.Take your drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.After the ProcedureMost patients are able to get out of bed an hour or so after this surgery. Most can go home the same day, but some may need to stay in the hospital overnight. If you have problems urinating, you may need a catheter (a flexible tube that will drain urine) in your bladder for a short time.Outlook (Prognosis)The outcome of this surgery is usually very good. The hernia returns in less than 3 out of 100 patients who have this surgery.ReferencesMalangoni MA, Rosen MJ. Hernias. In: Townsend CM, Beauchamp RD, Evers BM, Mattox KL, eds.

What is an occult hernia?
An occult hernia is a hernia that is not visible from the outside due to its location inside the body. It may not present with the typical bulging or protrusion that is often seen in other types of hernias, making it harder to diagnose. Occult hernias may still cause symptoms such as pain or discomfort, and may require medical intervention.
