As a former engineer, I enjoyed an active and happy retirement, spending time on my fishing hobby and enjoying long daily walks with my golden retriever, Snowy. In 2021, I developed an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia is a defect in connective tissue that allows contents such as intestines to protrude or become trapped via a hole in the abdominal wall. When coughing, bending over, or moving heavy things, the ensuing bulge caused a lot of agonies.
I
firmly disregarded it at first. But, over time, it became much more than an
annoyance. To force the hernia back in, I'd have to lay down five, six,
and sometimes ten times a day. It also limited how long I could sit
in the car, stand up or walk Snowy for a mile. I
began researching about hernias, what causes them, and how to treat
them. To have my hernia repaired, I went to the top laparoscopic hernia surgeon in Nashik.
At
the beginning of August 2021, I underwent an inguinal hernia procedure. After
two months, I can say that the entire procedure, from the initial inquiry to
the operation, discharge, and recovery, has been simply exceptional. Thank you
so much to the hernia specialist in Nashik and his entire team for their
assistance. They were highly professional, compassionate, sensitive, and
knowledgeable.
I
was relieved that the treatment could be performed under local anaesthesia and
that the incision was only 4-5 centimetres long. The scar has already faded,
and the area feels natural, and I am at ease already.
After
a few days, I followed the clear post-operative guideline leaflet and stopped
using the recommended pain relievers (Ibuprofen and paracetamol) because they
were unnecessary. After two days, I was able to walk correctly and take long
walks within a week of the treatment; after five days, I could drive.
Despite
the current pandemic, as a 70-year-old asthmatic patient, I was made to feel
comfortable and safe from the time I arrived for the initial Covid test 48
hours before the surgery until I walked out fed and comfortable. I
couldn't have hoped for more satisfactory service, and I want to express my
gratitude to the hernia specialist doctor in Nashik.
