I continue to experience a fullness feeling in my grion area after having hernia surgery nearly a year ago. The surgery was done laproscopically. I've been back to see my doctor and the surgeon who can't really say why I continue to have the discomfort. I've had a cat scan just to be sure there wasn't something else causing the symtoms and it came back all normal. Any advice on what I should try next?

Hi there! Welcome to the forum. A feeling of fullness in the groin is often caused by hernias, growths/ masses, fluid collection, foreign bodies, infections, inflammations etc. Well, since a scan has been normal and there has been no abnormality detected, hernias, growths/ masses, fluid collection and unsuccessful laparoscopic repair are ruled out as causes. Likely possibilities in such a situation are probably a low grade inflammation, scar formation or a feeling referred from other regions; the later is not of much significance. Well, these are just likely possibilities that are assumed with normal tests and may not turn out to be true. However, since there are no other symptoms or abnormal physical findings, I would not suggest active management at this stage. You may however opt for exercises that strengthen the muscles of the lower abdomen, under a professional trainer. One must however be careful not to put sudden or excessive stress in the region post-a repair procedure and exercises should be carried on a low-moderate grade continuous basis. Hope this turns out to be helpful. Please feel free to post any further queries that you may have and do keep us posted. Take care!

Hi! I agree with Dr Kaul that since you had a clinical examination by a surgeon and a CT scan chances of hernia, lumps, fluid collection etc are almost nil. Fullness in groin area can also be due to colitis, IBS, Crohn's, constipation and due to adhesions formed by previous surgery. Sadly adhesions cannot be diagnosed by any tool except laparoscopy, and elimination of all other causes. Gut disorders that I mentioned can be diagnosed by colonoscopy. If you have constipation then increase fluid and roughage in diet. Also I would suggest you take a second opinion from another surgeon regarding recurrence of hernia. Please discuss with your PCP, and consult a gastroenterologist to rule out other causes. Take probiotics and antacids and see if they help. Hope this gives you some idea as to what needs to be done further. Take care!
