file MANTELVLIES BREUK EN TTC

I managed to be "okay" with my "valve" not working properly during the pregnancy, however I was advised (by 4 different doctors) to continue taking my nexiam during pregnancy. I think this helped a lot with the extra heartburn and gastric reflux. I had really bad morning sickness as well, and I think it must be terrible not to be able to puke while feeling so nauseaus.
I could only eat very small meals, no rich fatty foods, don't drink fluids with meals, and have supper no later than 18:00.
It was still tough during the pregnancy, but I could manage.
My sister on the other hand, who also has the "mantelvlies breuk" was very very nauseaus during both her 2 pregnancies. She was hospatalised twice because she couldn't eat and had to be put on an IVU. So, I think it is difficult to say how much your pregnancy will affect your condition.

Interesting, don't know if you know, but the reason why your condition gets worse while being pregnant is because your body produces a hormone called "relaxin" (I think) that basically "relaxes" all the muscles in your body to be able to stretch, but it also "relaxes" that valve to your stomach more. So, you can imagine while pregnant your valve loossens even more than normally.

My man het dieselfde probleem. Dit word veral vererger met toename in gewig. Dit was vreeslik erg, totdat my man begin het om op te let wat hy eet en sodoende bietjie gewig verloor het. Toe het dit amper heeltemal verdwyn en duik net op as hy baie eet en gewig aansit. Hy het ook pille gedrink daarvoor, maar dit gaan nou so goed dat hy die pille gelos het.

Ons het 'n baie nice spesialist gaan sien vir 'n naeltjiebreuk, maar sommer ook gevra oor die mantelvlies breuk. Hy reken gewig en dieet het in baie gevalle 'n groot effek op mantelvliesbreuke. Ook het hy anabeveel om nie die operasie te laat doen as jy 'n ander opsie het nie - dus die operasie net as laaste uitweg.En ja, hy het genoem mens kan nie opgooi nie.

If this is what I think you are talking about, I had it done 4 years ago. Then I got really bad morning sickness and it was terrible!!!! I couldn't puke at all, but would still strain to. I loosened it.

It took me about a year to

Nexium is excellent if you can afford it.

I must just add that it is a long recovery after the op. The eating part with weight loss. I have never been able to eat nicley afterwards, but I have a precancerous condition due to the acid damage so it was best to do the op. I now need to have biopsies evey year or two.

I can drink now with far less discomfort, but obviously can't overindulge.

If you need more info shout.

Ek sou eers by 'n spesialis uitkom voor ek enige haastige besluite neem. Ai, simpatie met jou, dis 'n "nare" ding om mee saam te leef. Ek het al baie oorweeg om die operasie te doen, maar dink ek wil nog wag tot die mediese tegnologie verbeter rakende hierdie operasie.
Die grootste nadeel vir my is dat ek glad nie alkohol kan drink nie, ek sou graag nou en dan 'n glasie wyn wou drink...mar dit werk nie so goed met my kondisie nie.

gloeiwurmpie Ek is ook nie seker of daar 'n verskil tussen die twee is nie. Ek wag nog om met 'n spesialis te gesels oor die volle uitslae. My GP het my net geskakel na die Gastroskopie om te sê die Mantelvlies breuk is 5cm. Ek is ook tans op Nexium.

Ek het gladnie die Dr gesien voor of na die prosedure nie. Hy het net 'n verslag met fotos wat jy kry as jy uit die hospitaal kom en dit moes ek vir my GP neem.

Ek is nie seker of 'n mantelvlies breuk dieselfde is as 'n mens se klep by jou maag wat nie sluit nie? Wel, my klep sluit nie.
My gastro entoloog het aanbeveel mens wag om die operasie om klep te vernou tot na swangerskap. Sover ek verstaan kan mens nie "opgooi" na die operasie nie, wat morning sickness dalk bemoeilik sou mens dit kry. ??

Anders behalwe vir dit, dink ek nie daar is enige rede hoekom mens dit nie kan doen nie. Dit is 'n moeilike operasie om van te herstel, my sussie het dit 2 weke terug gehad. Mens se dieet is streng aangepas vir 6 weke na die tyd.
Vra jou dokter meer hieroor.

Is jy seker die operasie is noodsaaklik? Ek vra, want ek weet gastro entoloe is baie gou om kleppe kleiner te maak, maar die operasies word dikwels elke 5 jaar herhaal. My dokter prof van niekerk het my persoonlik afgeraai om die operasie te kry, ek is kronies op nexiam.
Hoop ek het nie die kat aan die stert beet nie.

Ek het onlangs uitgevind dat ek 'n Mantelvlies breuk het. Kan ons nog TTC en of moet dit eers via 'n operasie herstel word.

Is daar enige iemand wat dalk 'n breuk gehad het terwyl jy swanger was. As 'n mens die operasie doen hoe lank daarna kan ons weer begin TTC.

Enige raad asseblief.
