Pain experienced between the posterior iliac crest and the gluteal fold, particularly in the vicinity of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and/or the pubic symphysis and/or hips 1. For encounters that involve the management of pain medications, it is important that documentation for each of these visits clearly spells out the progress the patient is making in setting goals for pain management. Frequent office visits may send a flag to the payer for overutilization; complete documentation will go a long way to support the medical necessity of each visit at the level billed. Clear documentation identifying specific nonsurgical treatment and time spent is critical to reimbursement. Pelvic pain is pain in the area of the pelvis. Acute pain is more common than chronic pain. If the pain lasts for more than six months, it is deemed to be chronic pelvic pain. It can affect both women and men.

Incisional hernia: Abdominal surgery causes a flaw in the abdominal wall. This flaw can create an area of weakness through which a hernia may develop. This occurs after 2%-10% of all abdominal surgeries, although some people are more at risk. Even after surgical repair, incisional hernias may return. Although many women who experience abdominal pain have healthy pregnancies, there are times when abdominal pain can pose a serious risk. If you exhibit any severe symptoms, such as those discussed below, please consult your medical care professional immediately. Hiatal hernia: This type of hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm. The diaphragm normally has a small opening for the esophagus. This opening can become the place where part of the stomach pushes through. Small hiatal hernias can be asymptomatic (cause no symptoms), while larger ones can cause pain and heartburn.

It also relates to our use of any personal information you provide us by phone, SMS, , in letters and other correspondence and in person. If you have an obvious hernia, the health care professional may not require any other tests (if you are healthy otherwise) to make a diagnosis. If you have symptoms of a hernia (dull ache in groin or other body area with lifting or straining but without an obvious lump), the doctor may feel the area while increasing abdominal pressure (having you stand or cough ). This action may make the hernia able to be felt. If you have an inguinal hernia, the doctor will feel for the potential pathway and look for a hernia by inverting the skin of the scrotum with his or her finger. 5.

3 musculoskeletal condition, if applicable, to identify the cause of the musculoskeletal condition. Pelvic torsion means that one side of the hip is more rotated than the other. It can either be rotated forwards or backwards in relation to each other. Symptoms include low back pain that is localised, buttock pain on one side, back pain that shoots into the ankle or the foot, a more exaggerated spinal curve ( scoliosis ), which will affect the posture, and there will often be a leg length difference. The side where the pelvis rotates forward is more likely to have the shortened leg. Reducible hernia In general, all hernias should be repaired to avoid the possibility of future intestinal strangulation. If you have preexisting medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe, your doctor may not repair your hernia but will watch it closely. Rarely, your doctor may advise against surgery because of the special condition of your hernia. Some hernias have or develop very large openings in the abdominal wall, and closing the opening is complicated because of their large size. These kinds of hernias may be treated without surgery, perhaps using abdominal binders. Some doctors feel that the hernias with large openings have a very low risk of strangulation. Inguinal (groin) hernia: Making up 75% of all abdominal wall hernias and occurring up to 25 times more often in men than women, these hernias are divided into two different types, direct and indirect. Both occur in the groin area where the skin of the thigh joins the torso (the inguinal crease), but they have slightly different origins. Both of these types of hernias can similarly appear as a bulge in the inguinal area. Distinguishing between the direct and indirect hernia, however, is important as a clinical diagnosis.

These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity. Hernias by themselves may be asymptomatic (produce no symptoms) or cause slight to severe pain. The pain can occur while resting or only during certain activities such as walking or running. Nearly all have a potential risk of having their blood supply cut off (becoming strangulated). When the content of the hernia bulges out, the opening it bulges out through can apply enough pressure that blood vessels in the hernia are constricted and therefore the blood supply is cut off. If the blood supply is cut off at the hernia opening in the abdominal wall, it becomes a medical and surgical emergency as the tissue

4 needs oxygen, which is transported by the blood supply. Common types of abdominal wall hernias include the following: Ectopic Pregnancy: Occurring in 1 out of 50 pregnancies, an ectopic pregnancy is when the egg is implanted anywhere other than the uterus. Most often, the egg is implanted in the fallopian tube. Sadly, an ectopic pregnancy cannot continue to term and requires medical treatment.
