Suggest Treatment For Soreness In Abdomen

I coughed and my large intestine fell out along the top of my abdomen. I rolled them back in. Now I have soreness in the 4 corners of my abdomen. No fever, just some discomfort. I am worried because my sister said if any part is pinched of my intestine if could become necrotic from having its blood source pinched off. My doctor doesn't believe this happened, and is asking me if I am under stress. What should I do or what tests should I have? I've had an abdomal sonogram, and a full body ct scan with contrast. No outstanding results.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The history itself of intestine falling out and you rolling them back suggests that you have got a abdominal hernia. You have not mentioned the exact site, and it could be anything from an inguinal hernia to an umbilical/paraumbilical hernia. If I were your family physician, I would refer you to a general surgeon, then go for all sophisticated investigation if need be. Hernia is usually a clinical diagnosis, and no sophisticated investigations are required for diagnosing the same. The treatment of hernia is surgery unless infrequently contra-indicated due to any other medical reasons.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the health care magic forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
