How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Still infected ?
I got some antibiotics for my hernia mesh repair (second surgery) my last day of the course is tomorrow. I still have bad burning and pain in that area, it is still bright red and hard in that area...does it still look infected and what is the chance I may need to remove the mesh? Can an US pick up infections?
Update - maybe infected?
It also looks quite infected. How does it look to you? It’s been 2 weeks and wasn’t like this a few days ago. It is really red, hard, in the area and it has a burning pain through it ongoing and it super sore.
Umbilical Hernia Repair Concern
I had an umbilical hernia repair 7 months ago that the surgeon cut open just above my belly button. For the whole 7 months that area was inflamed, (I found this out after I had an US and was painful the whole time) they didn’t know why it was inflamed but said I had 2 hernias come back right near my belly button and they would be able to see why it’s inflamed once they cut me open again...but since I had my most recent surgery on Thursday, I haven’t seen the surgeon at all, before or after, but he’s cut under my belly this time (we didn’t discuss this) but it’s still all really inflamed where it was inflamed and bulging out before? More than normal. Is this normal for it to be so inflamed after so long and again? This time he used mesh? It looks like a bulging step and it’s sore and really hard still...
