How Can An Abdominal Wall Prolapse Be Treated?
my friend was diagnosed with an abdominal wall prolapse, following a total hysterectomy. This cause some frictions in our relationship, she is sixty seven. she is overweight and the abdominal area is quite large. My question: can the excess abdominal area be reduced and the prolapse wall removed by surgical intervention? did I explain my concern and was medically expressive? Thank you for being there.

Definitely there is a solution.

These hernia can be fixed with a mesh and can be reduced.
Red flag signs for surgery are pain and bowel disturbances .
Mean while try to reduce weight and advice for regular exercises with a diet plan as a first option.
2nd aggressive option to go for bariatric surgery
