I had a hernia operation on my right side but I am still having pain. I had a ct scan and it showed prominent ovaries and mild infiltration of the fat in right inguinal region what does this mean?

Hi.

Was it an inguinal hernia repair you had?

Did the report say what type of "infiltration" was present???

ACCEPTED

Hi.

That is an unusual report - infiltration usually means infiltration by "something" and few i,f any ,things will infiltrate the inguinal fat.

You need to speak to the radiologist who did your scan to get some more information.

Good.

So basically the scan is normal then.

When was your surgery?

Can you describe the pain?
