#types and causes of Hernia

[hungrykeaton]

You always seem to be stuffing yourself to the brim. It's hard to believe you're human, sometimes. Sorry if this is intrusive, I know you don't do that type of content, which is fine, BUT I AM CURIOUS:

do you ever feel sick? I was looking at your recent posts and like, surely 4 dinners and such a tightly packed tummy would have you feeling nauseous or maybe a little nervous?

Do you ever have any actual fear that your meals will come back up, or are you just always in 'normal' pain from being so full? and, if you feel up to it, don't feel shy about mentioning in your future posts whether or not you were on the verge of losing it or not. I wanna know just how far you're pushing yourself.

I’ve just been at it for a long time now, but sometimes I kinda shock myself with how much I’m able to eat in a sitting 😬

Honestly even when I’m packed to the brim, I’m only nervous that like I’m gonna tear something into a hernia or something so I try to take it easy on the getting up and everything.

But that’s only with food, the only times I’ve actually gotten sick was because I packed myself to the brim and got super drunk as well. So that’s why I don’t do beer content all that much cause it’s not frequent but sometimes it can happen 😁

Eclipse the kitten update

(please don't glitch tumblr it's the tenth time I've tried!!!)

Previous post

Welp! Winter's boy has a respiratory infection. It was causing him to wheeze so to the vet we went! Luckily it wasn't a diaphram issue (which had us worried because of his umbilical hernia). His hernia also came up normal on his x-rays.

(X-rays left out because might bother people, but I can send them on request)

He's on meds several times a day and taking them like a champ, but had to be put in a pen with limited free playtime (because nothing will stop Mr Indestructible from running around the house with all the grace of a car with no breaks). We DID get a reply after just a week from a really nice person who was going to give us one (shocked us let me tell ya because it was BIG dog sized). Unfortunately, they left it outside for us to pick up and someone else just... took it. Right out of their yard. And since all we had was a small cat carrier to keep him in (which was kinda cruel for more than a day or two tops), we ordered a cat playpen that we got for a decent price. We kept looking until it got here, but no luck. Still! It's a nice playpen and we have it set up so he doesn't have to jump if he doesn't want to (plus more vertical to enjoy later on). Sarah's mom also let us borrow her water fountain!

We went to a new vet as ours was booked up (and he had already been wheezing a day). Everyone basically fell in love with him instantly. He left with a little toy from the tech, they gave Winter a jar of honey (one of the people in the office has bees and they wanted to give her something for caring about a kitten that most wouldn't have despite him having a treatable condition), and they've been checking in on how he is recovering (very well since I first typed this actually). He's basically got an entire vet office wrapped around his little paw.

Also, the non-profit we're taking him to for his surgery had a cancelation and his got moved up to the 12th! Counting down the days yall.

Because I gotta kinda mention it, this hit us where it hurts. Between the vet visit and testing, the pen, and the estimated cost for the surgery and followup, it's gonna cost us more than $2k (as long as nothing ELSE goes wrong). We're lucky that we're all super careful with our money, but there's only so much we can save up with three people below the poverty line. Still worth it though. I mean, look at this doofus

He is so stubborn that we can't leave scratch posts upright because he keeps doing THIS! XD

I'm linking Winter's paypal, but I 1000% understand if you can't help out. Still, a reblog and a word or three mean a LOT to all of us so if you got a minute, I'd love some new post additions to show Winter.

(Truth be told, the only reason all the updates are posted on my tumblr is because I'm the longest winded out of the three of us and I take like 5 billion pictures. XD )

Speaking of, there WOULD be a bonus pic of him and his sister (Melanite, aka Miel) playing under my chair as my cat (Danny) looks on from a safe place, but tumblr kept glitching when I added it.

Edit: surgery update

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest episode 16: thoughts + opinions

Tired Touka

look at Makarov's pose lol

how does Juvia manage to look so beautiful even when she's knocked out cold??

it's still so funny to me that Cana got super drunk to the point of passing out and then just went along with everyone who was under the White Mage/Faris' control lmao

how the fuck was Faris able to drag out both Jellal and Max without getting herself a hernia? I KNOW I WOULD'VE CERTAINLY GOTTEN ONE IF I WERE IN HER SHOES AND DIDN'T HAVE FLOATING MAGIC AT MY DISPOSAL!

I love how she just gets progressively more upset the heavier members of Fairy Tail get when she attempts to drag them out

I might hate her guts for all the shitstorm she's caused so far, but Faris was actually smart for utilizing her magic and making Elfman carry both Laxus and Nab

I love Natsu using his big bro's curse as a way to take down one of Aldoron's God Seeds, with that being an actually smart move from him for once! also, him calling Zeref his big brother is so sweet and wholesome🥹🥹🥹

these two 💙 // eeek, I'm so hyped up for the next episode (my fellow Gruvia and Jerza shippers, iykyk!)

cannot wait for Jellal and Erza's conversation about what happened between them when he was under the White Mage's control lmao

''Who could've done this?'' // WELL GUESS WHAT JELLAL? THE GUY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU DID THIS TO THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE! (albeit under the White Mage's control, but still lol)

Jellal, sweetie, I'm pretty sure being restrained is child's play compared to what Laxus had to endure in his fight against Erza

well, God Seed Aldoron sure is one ugly-looking motherfucker

oof, Natsu looks so hot here❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

why does blood in Fairy Tail always look more like chocolate than real blood?

GODDAMMIT, THIS WAS SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR GRAY AND JUVIA TO DO A UNISON RAID!

''Are you the one who hurt Erza?'' // well, looks like Jellal's getting ready to be a bad boy again, and for Erza only😏😏😏

THIS GOD SEED DOOM IS SUCH A GOOFY GOOBER

Cobra would be so proud of Kinana for using a similar type of magic to his! 💜

I really loved the fight between Doom and ''less important'' Fairy Tail members! Great to see them shine for once, instead of being useless background characters they unfortunately seem to be most of the time. 🙌🏻

Look, I really loved this episode, but please tell me I'm not the only who noticed Gajeel's voice sounding really off in this episode? I really, really hope they didn't axe David Wald (Gajeel's English VA) because he aired Crunchyroll's dirty laundry on Twitter a couple of weeks ago (tldr: they took care packages and fan letters addressed to voice actors and distributed them amongst the employees instead of giving them to VA's, and they also allegedly committed a federal crime by opening mail).

My fellow Gruvia and Jerza shippers, we should be well fed in the next episode, because Gray & Juvia vs. Metro and Jellal vs. Gears are both shaping up to be amazing fights + WE SHOULD GET SO MUCH GRUVIA AND JERZA CONTENT, SO I'M BEYOND PUMPED FOR IT!

[htbrpblog]

(OOC: Trigger/content warning for gore descriptions. It's basically just infodumping about wounds and treatments because, come on, he'd do this if he had a blog. Plus, it's an excuse for me to infodump). There are so many things that can go wrong from a cut, so I'm going to tell you some of them.

(OOC: Badeline sprite by Amora Bettany. Sprite edit by me. These are meant to be visualizations).

The first layer of skin is called the epidermis. The epidermis is very thin, and if you get cut only to that layer, it will not bleed. The epidermis does not contain any type of blood vessel. The very outer layers are often dead, so sometimes you will not feel anything if it is damaged, just like hair and fingernails. These won't cause too much damage, but you must wash them with soap and water anyway because they can still get infected. The next layer of skin is called the dermis. The dermis has arterioles, and capillaries. You might see veins and nerves there by proxy if you get to the reticular layer, but they are a little deeper. If you are bleeding, wash the cut, or it will likely get infected by something. Most of the time it won't be something deadly, but there are many deadly infections you could catch, so that is why it is important. If the blood squirts at this layer, you likely got an arteriole, and you should put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. If you have healing medicine to put on the cut, use it. If a cut gapes, you must use medical tape or steri-strips to hold it closed. If you don't have either of those, use anything that can hold the cut closed for weeks. The best thing to do would be to go to the doctor and let them treat you, or at least go to the store and get the proper materials. If your cut is yellow on the inside and looks bumpy, that's the hypodermis, and you need to go to the hospital because that can turn very deadly, and you'll need stiches. Here is where the veins and nerves are, and if a nerve got cut, it's going to be extremely painful, and nerves don't always heal. There are arteries as well. If an artery is damaged, it will squirt blood, and it is very dangerous to leave untreated. This is how people can die of blood loss. I have hardly even mentioned the deadly diseases that could kill you from just a small untreated wound. The first one is gangrene. Gangrene is when your cells die because there is no blood flow. It can actually be caused by an infection, and some people have gotten gangrene and died from it after only having a minor cut. There are a few types of gangrene. Dry gangrene is the specific type I was informing you about a few sentences ago. Wet gangrene is when you get an infection on top of your gangrene, which makes it deadly. Gas gangrene is when there is gas under your skin, causing it to create bubbles. It is deadly as well. The last type is internal gangrene. It can happen if your organs are slipping through a hole in your body, also called a hernia. It is also deadly. Sepsis is when your body tries to treat an infection but gets confused and attacks itself instead. This is why it's so important not to let any wound get infected. When it progresses, it will turn into septic shock. You will feel like you are dying because you will be dying. Some symptoms are being very confused, flu symptoms, difficulty breathing, fast heart rate, low blood pressure, pain, or being unable to stand up or stay awake. If a wound goes septic, you have to go to the hospital immediately, or you will probably die. Back to the main topic, if you manage to get a cut to the fascia, which covers the muscle tissue and can look white, grey, or blue, you must go to the hospital. You can also get necrosis from an injury like this, which is like gangrene, but it's not from a lack of blood supply. It will damage whatever cells it affects permanently, and it usually will affect the deeper tissues. If you manage to get an injury that goes all the way to your muscle or bone, like if you aren't careful with an electric saw, you need to go to the hospital. That could sever tendons or ligaments, so you won't be able to move that area as much anymore. You should always clean your wounds with soap and water. Water does nothing by itself. Do not use hydrogen peroxide, it'll kill your cells as well as the bacteria. Cover your cuts with bandages. Go to the hospital of you must. Do not wait to treat you injuries.

[rnanqo]

bout to rip my hair out cause every name I pick for this character is bad.

hercynia: can’t type it correctly ever. evokes hernia and yersinia pestis

hephrynia: not a name, completely made up. a little too distinguished. elegantly weird and I don’t want the elegance

iphigenia: slaps as a name, but then this character’s fun journey with dad almost has to involve him trying to human sacrifice her. compelling, but there’s enough going on already

[embracesufferdestroy]

Anyways. I've been seriously considering getting help specifically for my dissociation. There's actually a therapist that specializes in my type of trauma not even 5 minutes from where I live, and he specializes in C-PTSD and dissociation. I still don't know if I have DID, I can't ever be too sure, but at the very least I just want some answers. I want to start figuring things out, especially recently. Over this year I've experienced complete memory voids, confusing my dreams with reality, I got my car towed due to my own negligence, can't even focus at work to get all my tasks done. I even called out again today because the fog, I just can't handle it

I think my main stressor this year has been my physical health. I'm still recovering from broken ribs, and I very recently had a very brief tumor scare. I had this mass on my stomach that I thought was a hernia, go to find out it's swollen lymph nodes. Immediately got scanned for tumors or cancers but nope, everything looks normal. The likely culprit is a lower back injury causing my lymphatic system to react. Makes sense since I've been dealing with symptoms of a herniated disk for about a year now. I split my knee this year as well, just a whole bunch of very intense injuries. Aside from my physical health I think it's just money as well that's stressing me, as well as the unsupportive relationship I'm in. I've been broke broke, like I've never been this broke before. Seeking help is maybe possible but I'd only be able to go maybe once a month, which isn't ideal but at least it's something. As soon as my next paycheck rolls in I'm gonna call and see how much an appointment is, thankfully I still have insurance.

1/13

Packs on the Pounds -

Fast food is convenient and cheap, but you pay a bigger price in the long run. Those burgers, fries, and shakes usually have more fat, calories, and highly processed carbs than your body needs in one meal. This can quickly lead to weight gain and obesity if you eat it often.

2/13

Harms Your Heart

Sodium makes fast food taste better and keeps it from spoiling. But just one bacon cheeseburger can contain your recommended daily value for sodium. That’s the amount of a nutrient experts suggest getting every day. Too much sodium raises your blood pressure and damages your blood vessels. It also raises your risk for heart failure, heart attack, and stroke.

3/13

Spikes Blood Sugar

Bagels, buns, and breaded foods are high in processed carbs your body breaks down into sugar. As blood sugar levels rise, your body pumps out insulin to level things out. Over time, these constant sugar spikes can wear out your pancreas (the organ that makes insulin). This keeps blood sugar levels high, triggering type 2 diabetes.

4/13

Opens the Door to Digestive Issues

Fast food may taste good, but you may not feel well once it hits your system. High-sodium foods (fries, anyone?) can temporarily trigger bloat. Couple that with low amounts of dietary fiber, and your digestive tract gets backed up. This can lead to constipation that puts you at risk for hemorrhoids, hernias, and diverticulitis.

5/13

Affects Your Mood

What you eat and drink can impact how you feel mentally and physically. Fast food lacks the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body needs to boost your mood. Research suggests fast and processed foods you buy at the store may be linked to a higher risk of depression.

6/13

Makes You Tired

When a bunch of processed carbs hit your system, your blood sugar rises quickly, then drops just as fast. This can make you feel tired. If you grab a sugary coffee drink to wake up, the cycle starts all over again.

7/13

Could Impact Your Fertility

Phthalates, synthetic chemicals that dissolve materials and make plastics durable, are in everything from toys to fast food. Recent studies have linked phthalates with fertility issues and higher risks of learning and behavioral disorders in children.

8/13

Changes Your Bathroom Habits

Because it’s highly processed, fast food -- especially the kind that’s fried or creamy -- can be hard to digest. If your body can’t break it down, it lands in your colon and turns into fatty acids that spark diarrhea.

9/13

Invites Dental Disease

The high levels of carbs and sugar in fast food, including sodas, raises the amount of acids in your mouth. These wear down the enamel on your teeth and boosts your risk of cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease.

10/13

Wears Out Your Bones and Joints

Excess weight and obesity caused by fast food puts extra pressure on your joints, especially your hips and knees. This makes you more likely to get fractures in the bones around your joints.

11/13

Raises Your Risk for Respiratory Issues

One fried chicken dinner won’t affect the way you breathe. But too much fast food can lead to extra weight that increases your risk of asthma, especially in women. More research is needed to know exactly why, but early studies show that fat tissue leads to inflammation that may affect your lungs.

12/13

Causes Skin Outbreaks

Fast food is full of ingredients that don’t play well with your skin. Sugar can lower collagen levels and lead to signs of early aging, like wrinkles. Salt drains moisture from your skin, but it helps your body keep the water that causes bags under your eyes. High amounts of saturated fats trigger hormones that play a role in acne.

13/13

Affects Your Memory

Experts think saturated and trans fats tell your body to make plaques in the brain. These cause dementia and raise your risk of Alzheimer’s disease three times more than those who don’t eat fast food.

[cerysdelaney]

Hello 🙂 Just wanted to say hi and check in. Hope you've been well lately ❤️

Honestly? I’m currently trying to do 36 hours of work in 24. My husband had hernia surgery (and we didn’t have insurance) so it took out all our savings.

- But I’m not complaining. I feel fortunate that I had the money. Now I just have to work twice as much to rebuild that savings.

AND I’m doing it in a sustainable way. 💜 We may not rebuild as fast, but I’m still allowing myself to get a massage every month and get structural integration work. I go to free yoga sessions run by one of my coworkers who’s currently training to be a yogi. I allow myself one night a month to go to the dark temple and learn more about bdsm/kink. I take nights to hang out with friends. And, of course, I make sure to spend quality time with my daughter (nonverbal, now preverbal autistic - she’s starting to say words, ya’ll, and interacting 🥰 My heart is so full).

I’m still writing, albeit some days it’s only for 15 min, but I’m encouraged by keeping up with it. I’m not taking commissions cause right now I’m actually finishing one about a radiologist with skeleton husbands (expect chapters of that deliciousness out soon) and about to start another that’s the sequel to Horrortale (a very different type of deliciousness).

I wish I could sustain myself on getting commissions, but I have to be realistic: I’m dyslexic, ADHD, Autistic and I have a family I need to provide for (and currently in a very well paying job I’ve put in over a decade of my life to reach). I don’t write fast. I never have. This post right here will take me 20 min - yeah, I know “WHAT?!?” But I spend a lot of time thinking about my words, and I like to think that’s why people like my writing ^_^ It’s why I like my writing. I re-read my stuff all the time, and I’m like, “fuck yes.” I love it. And I love that you all love it.

- This was probably not the response you were expecting. But I do want to tell you again that your blog truly is a wonderful bright spot. I have used it now more than once this week to unwind and take a 15 min break from the whirlwind of my busy but happy life. Thank you. 💜

Most common surgeries done by gynecologist surgeon

Gynecology surgery comprises any surgical procedure that involves the organs and structure of the female pelvic region: the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, vulva, and vagina. There are several reasons why a woman might need to go through gynecology surgery. She might need treatment for a condition such as fibroids (benign tumors), endometriosis, cancer, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding or uterine prolapse. Gynecology surgery can also be used as permanent birth control.

The most common surgeries done by gynecologist surgeon are as follows:

Cervical Cryosurgery

Abnormal cervical cells are at times discovered during a routine Pap smear. Abnormal cells do not always indicate cancer, but your healthcare provider will likely want to do some follow-up tests or procedures. One procedure they might recommend is cervical cryosurgery. This procedure is a highly effective gynecological treatment that freezes a section of the cervix. Cryosurgery destroys these cells to stop them from developing into cancer.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a process that your healthcare provider may use to diagnose or treat uterine issues. This procedure might be used to:

Locate an intrauterine device

Remove adhesions (scar tissue)

Determine the cause of repeated miscarriage

During this procedure, a healthcare professional inserts a hysteroscope, a lighted, thin, telescope-like instrument, into your uterus through the vagina. Then, it sends pictures of your uterus to a screen for further test.

Pelvic Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure usually performed under general anesthesia. But it can be performed with other types of anesthesia while you are awake. It is used for:

Gallbladder removal

Tubal ligation (tying the fallopian tubes for permanent birth control)

Treating endometriosis and uterine fibroids

Hernia repair

The typical pelvic laparoscopy involves a small incision in the belly button or lower abdomen. A surgeon then pumps carbon dioxide into your abdomen to help them see your organs easily.

Dilation and Curettage 

It is one of the most common gynecological procedures. During this process, a healthcare provider removes a portion of your uterine lining with a suction device or a sharp curette. The procedure can diagnose uterine conditions, including: 

Uterine cancer 

Endometrial hyperplasia (an abnormally thick uterine lining)

Uterine polyps (overgrowth of tissue in the uterine lining)

In addition, D&Cs are commonly used for miscarriage, abortion procedures, molar pregnancy, and retained placenta.

Common gynecological procedures by gynecologist surgeon include colposcopy, cervical cryosurgery, D&C, LEEP, hysteroscopy, and pelvic laparoscopy. Most of these procedures can help healthcare providers get a better look at the cervix, uterus, and vagina and take samples for a biopsy. Some of them can also treat specific conditions.

Understandably, you might have concerns about any process your healthcare provider or gynecologist recommends. Learning as much as you can is a good idea. In addition, it is essential to ask your doctor any questions you might have. Finally, do not forget to tell them if you may be pregnant, even though they usually do a test to check first.

[sk270114]

After hernia surgery, it is important to follow any dietary recommendations provided by your surgeon or healthcare provider. While there may not be specific dietary restrictions for all hernia surgeries, certain guidelines are commonly recommended to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. It's important to note that individual circumstances may vary, and it's always best to consult with your healthcare professional for personalized advice. That being said, here are some general dietary considerations that are often recommended after hernia surgery:

Adequate hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, is important to prevent dehydration and promote healing.

High-fiber foods: Consuming a diet rich in fiber can help prevent constipation, which is a common issue after surgery. Include foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

Protein-rich foods: Protein is essential for tissue repair and wound healing. Include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts in your diet to ensure an adequate protein intake.

Balanced meals: Aim for a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrients from different food groups. This will help provide the necessary vitamins and minerals needed for recovery.

Small, frequent meals: Instead of large meals, opt for smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. This can help prevent excessive strain on the surgical site and aid digestion.

Avoiding straining and heavy lifting: In the early stages of recovery, it is generally advised to avoid activities that can put strain on the surgical area, such as heavy lifting. This precaution may also extend to avoiding foods that require significant effort to chew or digest.

Avoiding foods that cause gas or bloating: Some people may experience increased gas or bloating after surgery. It can be helpful to avoid foods known to cause gas, such as beans, lentils, carbonated beverages, and certain vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and onions.

Remember, these guidelines may vary depending on the type of hernia surgery you undergo and individual factors. It's always best to consult with your surgeon or healthcare provider to receive specific dietary instructions tailored to your needs. There are many hospitals in Mumbai where Hernia Surgery is done with great success.

Hernia Surgery

If you are living in Dallas, Texas and experiencing symptoms of a hernia, you may be wondering about your treatment options. Fortunately, there are many excellent healthcare providers and facilities in the Dallas area that specialize in hernia surgery. In this blog post, we will explore hernia surgery in Dallas, Texas, including what to expect and where to find quality care.

What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an organ, tissue or fatty substance protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. This can cause pain, discomfort, and other symptoms, such as a bulge or lump in the affected area. Hernias can occur in different parts of the body, but are most common in the abdomen, groin, and upper thigh.

Types of Hernia Surgery

There are two main types of hernia surgery: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Open surgery is the traditional method of hernia repair, where a single incision is made in the affected area, and the surgeon manually repairs the hernia. Laparoscopic surgery, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves several small incisions through which the surgeon uses specialized tools and a camera to repair the hernia.

Choosing a Surgeon in Dallas

If you are considering hernia surgery in Dallas, it is essential to find a surgeon who is experienced and highly skilled in performing this type of surgery. Look for a surgeon who specializes in hernia repair and has a proven track record of success.

One way to find a qualified surgeon in Dallas is to ask for recommendations from your primary care physician or from friends and family members who have undergone hernia surgery. You can also do your research online by reading reviews and checking the surgeon's credentials and qualifications.

Facilities for Hernia Surgery in Dallas

There are many healthcare facilities in Dallas that offer hernia surgery, including hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and specialized hernia clinics. Some of the top facilities for hernia surgery in Dallas include:

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas - This hospital offers advanced surgical techniques for hernia repair and has a dedicated team of specialists who work together to provide personalized care for each patient.

UT Southwestern Medical Center - This academic medical center has a comprehensive hernia program that offers the latest surgical techniques and technologies for hernia repair.

Recovering from Hernia Surgery in Dallas

After the surgery, you will need to follow your surgeon's instructions for recovery, including resting and avoiding strenuous activity for a period of time. Your surgeon will also provide you with information on how to care for the surgical site and manage any pain or discomfort.

Most patients can expect to return to their normal routine within a few weeks after the surgery. However, it is important to attend any follow-up appointments and to notify your surgeon if you experience any complications or unusual symptoms.

All vertebrates have the same blind spot in each eye because the optic nerve pokes through the retina to innervate it from the front instead of just innervating it directly from the back (fun fact: cephalopods independently evolved their eyes and they don't have this issue)

Our jaws aren't big enough for all of our teeth, to the point where most of us have to have our final set of molars (wisdom teeth) medically extracted. This is because we evolved as cooking was invented and our food was softer, thus needing less chewing power. Our jaws got smaller, but the genes controlling jawbone size is different from the ones encoding how many teeth we have.

We have an unnecessary organ attached to our intestines that frequently gets infected and explodes.

Human birth is so dangerous compared to other mammals because we grew brains that are too big to pass through the pelvic cavity. Human infants are so helpless/underdeveloped compared to other primates because we had to start giving birth earlier and earlier to push the baby out before its skull got too big to fit. Women evolved wider hips to partially account for this, but they can't grow hips wide enough for babies and still walk bipedally.

Men are prone to certain types of hernias because their testes develop in the chest (where they stay in cold-blooded animals) before dropping through the pelvic floor instead of developing in place. This leaves a weak spot in the pelvic floor, which makes it easier for organs to break through and cause a hernia.

The human spine is such a biomechanical mess that Neil Schubin, one of the foremost paleontologists/anatomists of our time, called it an "architectural nightmare."

Our bodies aren't "intelligently designed," they're hastily cobbled together from spare bits of genome our ancestors left lying around. Every human is just a jury-rigged fish in a trenchcoat.

Help Amber (me) & Her Daughter Keep Their Home and Rebuild Their Future

https://gofund.me/478fefc6

A Difficult Year, A Plea for Support

Hi everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. The fact that you’re here means you care, and for that, I am truly grateful. Any help—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this campaign—will bring me and my daughter one step closer to stability.

2024 has been the hardest year of my life. It has been filled with unexpected health struggles, financial hardship, and an overwhelming sense of uncertainty. I have always been strong and independent, but today, I find myself in a situation where I have no choice but to ask for help.

https://gofund.me/d6101d57#gofundme

How It All Started

At the start of the year, I developed a painful hernia, making it difficult to work. This came right after my divorce, forcing me to rent a house that, while expensive, was manageable with my salary at the time.

In December 2023, I was relieved when my employment contract was extended—but only for six months. I knew this wasn’t a stable situation, but I remained hopeful. Then, on June 25, 2024, I received devastating news: my contract would not be renewed. Not because of my performance, but because the previous manager, who had held my role for 18 years, decided to return.

I was suddenly unemployed, with no income and rising expenses. The stress of this uncertainty was unbearable.

Health Setbacks & Financial Crisis

Just three days later, on June 28, my body gave in to the stress. I suffered a cerebral infarction (a type of stroke) that left me physically weakened and unable to function properly. The anxiety about my financial future only made things worse.

I had some savings, which helped cover my expenses until October. But every month, my living costs exceeded my welfare benefits by €858. As my savings disappeared, my stress grew.

Then, on September 6, another disaster struck—I was in a severe car accident. I blacked out due to extreme stress, causing me to lose my car and my driver’s license.

I knew I needed a cheaper home, but the Netherlands’ housing market is extremely competitive. I contacted every government agency I could think of, but no one could offer assistance.

An Exhausting Job Search

Since July, I have applied for 147 jobs. Out of all those applications, only a few employers even responded, and all were rejection letters. I landed one interview, but it also ended in rejection—with no feedback.

With 35 years of experience in management and coaching, I know I am qualified. But I fear my age is working against me in an industry where younger professionals dominate the hiring process.

The Urgent Reality—Losing Everything

By December, my situation became critical. If I don’t act fast, I will lose my home and everything in it.

I am terrified. The thought of my daughter and me becoming homeless just as the new year begins is unbearable. That is why I am reaching out now—I have no other option but to ask for help.

How Your Support Will Help

I need €5,807 to cover my outstanding bills and ensure my daughter and I can keep our home.

Here’s how the funds (7k) will be used:

€2,557 – Rent (to prevent eviction)

With the remaining €1,900, I plan to start fresh by launching a coaching platform, using my decades of experience to create a sustainable future where I no longer have to rely on outside help.

Will You Help Me Weather This Storm?

I have fought so hard to turn things around—applying for jobs, searching for a cheaper home, and seeking government assistance—but nothing has worked.

I don’t want to lose our home. I don’t want my daughter to experience homelessness. I just need one chance to get back on my feet.

If you can donate, even a small amount, it will make a world of difference. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign to help us reach the support we need.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story. I will be forever grateful for any help you can provide.

With love and gratitude,

Amber & Daughter

Hernia Repair Surgery In Thrissur

Hernia repair surgery is a crucial medical intervention designed to treat hernias, a condition where internal organs or tissues push through weakened muscle or connective tissue. At Karthiayani Hospital, Thrissur, we offer cutting-edge hernia repair treatments, utilizing advanced surgical techniques and a patient-centric approach to ensure optimal health outcomes. If you are searching for hernia repair surgery in Thrissur, Karthiayani Hospital stands as a leading institution known for its expertise, innovation, and affordability.

Understanding Hernias

Hernias can occur in different parts of the body and vary in severity. The most common types include:

1. Inguinal Hernia

Appears in the groin region when a portion of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through the abdominal wall.

2. Femoral Hernia

Less frequent but occurs in the upper thigh, more common in women.

3. Umbilical Hernia

Develops near the belly button, affecting both infants and adults.

4. Incisional Hernia

Forms at the site of a previous surgery due to inadequate healing or excessive strain.

5. Hiatal Hernia

Occurs when part of the stomach moves through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, often causing acid reflux.

If left untreated, hernias can lead to complications such as strangulation (restricted blood supply) and obstruction (intestinal blockage), making surgical intervention essential.

Symptoms of Hernias

Early detection is key to effective treatment. Common symptoms include:

A noticeable bulge in the affected area

Pain or discomfort, especially while lifting, coughing, or bending

A sense of heaviness in the abdomen

Nausea or vomiting (in severe cases)

Difficulty swallowing (specific to hiatal hernias)

If you notice any of these symptoms, consulting a specialist at Karthiayani Hospital, Thrissur, is highly recommended.

Why Choose Hernia Repair Surgery?

Hernia repair surgery is the most effective treatment for hernias, preventing further complications. Delaying treatment can lead to:

Strangulation: Blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off, leading to tissue death.

Intestinal Obstruction: Severe blockage causing pain and digestive problems.

Reduced post-surgical pain

Minimal scarring

Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed:

Laparoscopic Surgery: Patients can return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks.

Open Surgery: Full recovery may take 4-6 weeks.

Postoperative Care Guidelines
