Inguinal Hernias and ED/Size Issues
Return to DiscussionsIt occurs to me to share this info. Most men tall and/or heavy over 45 have these hernias in the lower abdomen. The fluid that pouches above the penis or beside the scrotum is a result and while not painful puts pressure on the blood vessels feeding the penis. ED and smaller erections or semis result. It's fixable it vastly improves function and in Canada (Toronto) is covered by OHIP.
Jan . 24 , 2018 . Yes , inguinal Hernia's are easy to fix now . Just make sure the surgeon uses a laparoscope , and it's done laparascopically .
It really is ' Band-Aid ' surgery . I was up and semi-active that night . Had it done and within 4 - 5 days was doing everything I did before the surgery . A little discomfort , but nothing the pain pills given after the surgery couldn't handle .

Generally this is true which is why for years and years most doctors just left them untreated. They have a minuscule rate of mortality and severe complications compared to the more well known herniation of the bowels which is almost always life threatening if it persists. The exceptions are some of the inguinal herniations at the navel and multiple levels/incidence (sometimes dozens). Depending on size or location (it sounds like you had one incidence and a smaller one that required an incision a tuck and a few stitches. Depending on your height and profile you may have a very low risk of recurrence, but if you were over 6 feet, presenting with three or more and demonstrating risk for recurrence here they'd not do three laparoscopies but do the whole area with surgical steel mesh and woven sutures which is a longer recovery time but very successfully done by the vast majority of patients and it's essentially correcting physiological issues that are specific to impotence and a majority of those getting it done are primarily doing it for those reasons but of course that's not advertised nor how the procedure is framed medically it's costed around one time in a lifespan versus 2 to many more for the high risk group better quality of life and as a means of getting ahead of the much more serious secondary processes that are common when the abdominal wall is in an advanced state of collapse and disintegration.
This post was ED specific because at the time I wrote it I had met in a couple years a dozen men who were all experiencing moderate to severe ED for whom ED drugs did not work and who were despondent about it because it started out gradually and wasn't an issue and then suddenly they were confronted with 40% 30% or less functionality and their physicians were unable to address or uninterested in their problems beyond prescribing Viagra or Cialis.
In most of their cases I could visibly confirm what my then partner described as his issue before surgery and what was in the literature I read on the topic from the pioneering clinic here that's still the recognized leader in the procedure. I just emailed them the links and said ask your doctor or make an appointment the consult is free confidential and our health insurance coverage is 100% for this operation. The first two men got the procedure done and were not around for a month or so then back with smiles and thanks... it's not turning back 50 or 60 years but with exercise and the occasional pill or ring it's certainly the difference between feeling fuctional and capable and feeling the opposite. To me that's a very important thing for men to have and know they can have it.
But... quick and easy surgery that's not painful or stressful is also a very good thing and definitely if all you need is a day to fix an issue with no underlying or secondary concerns then by all means that's the best choice!
@nudistpigI'm going to start referring to you as Dr. Pig. You give a lot of good verifiable information that's helpful to many guys.Thank you, Dr. Pig
Mr. Pig is fine, I am not yet a doctor (of philosophy) but soon. I try to synthesize what I know from actual men dealing with issues, the literature and my own experience, but am not an authority and all this stuff needs to be run by primary care or a specialist obviously... but, what I find the most frustrating is how little information is being given to men about what they can do to make their lives better and their sexual health better with all kinds of healing and curative practices treatments and where the problems are.
Alrighty then, Mr. (for now) Pig. You may not be a medical doctor but you do give guys information on what could be so they'll at least have somewhere to start. Talk to their doctor or get a new doctor to talk to and now they'll have a starting point for the discussion.
Love you, James!
