Was wondering if I should be worried. I had hernia repair surgery on my right side but this past week I've been coughing a lot and now I'm feeling pain on my left side too. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It's not uncommon to experience discomfort or pain on the opposite side after hernia surgery due to compensatory strain. However, persistent pain or new symptoms like coughing could indicate an issue that should be evaluated by your doctor to ensure everything is healing properly. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough assessment.

View allMy ultrasound showed multiple 8mm gallstones and I've been dealing with constipation and belching. Do I need surgery for this? Also, if I don't get the surgery now, could it cause issues later if I get pregnant?
Yes, given your symptoms and the size of your gallstones (8mm), surgery may be recommended. Gallstones larger than 8mm can cause digestive issues and potentially lead to complications like bile duct obstruction. Delaying surgery could increase the risk of these complications, including potential problems during pregnancy.
