PreOp® Patient Education Minimal: Hernia Hiatal Laparoscopic

http://www.PreOp.com
Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo surgery to repair a hiatal hernia. But what does that actually mean?

Your diaphragm is a muscle that separates your chest from you abdomen and helps you to breathe. Normally, the diaphragm has an opening for the esophagus to pass through where it connects with the stomach.

A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach

pushes upward through this small opening.

Your hiatal hernia may be causing considerable discomfort, with symptoms like heartburn, difficulty swallowing, chest pain and belching.

The reasons why hiatal hernias form are not known, but they are quite common. A Hernia is dangerous only if it becomes strangulated. That means that the portion of the stomach that has pushed up into the chest may become pinched - preventing blood from reaching it.

If this happens, you may require emergency surgery to restore blood flow and to repair hernia.

I had the same problem all the time, and it turned out that I have a hiatal hernia. I take a prescription for Omeprazole, and I haven't had the problem since.

i have difficulty swallowing,its as if the oesophagus fills up with food and the food cant escape to the stomach,i think im the only person concerned,can anybody advise me what i can do?

[sketcherlove]

@glendalleeee Oh dont worry about it, Im used to it (:

[glendalleeee]

I am sorry about you

[gasto5]

Nope, no chronic pain is meant to be dealt with for a long time. Bad things may happen (the worst being cancer).

Go see a gastrointestinal doctor if you have chronic acid reflux, or a hard time swallowing.
