There are several kinds of hernias, but the all happen when pressure pushes an organ (often the intestine) through a weak spot in a muscle face or wall. Treatment for hernias can be no treatment, to medicines to surgery. Modern surgical methods to treat hernias are much improved over older techniques and recovery times are much shorter.

I have suffered with bad breath for as long as I can remember. It causes me great anxiety on a daily basis to the point where I want to do nothing but cry. I have tried absolutely everything and when I go to the dentist and mention it they just tell me to floss more or something. I have great oral hygiene and no amount of brushing or mouthwash will get rid of it. When I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia a few days ago and moderate to severe acid reflux my mom mentioned to me that this may be what has caused my bad breath my entire life. She says that I have suffered from it since I was a little kid and I know that a hiatal hernia is something that you can be born with. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and perhaps seen it go away after receiving treatment of some sort. I really cannot go on living with bad breath like this and I am praying to god that this hiatal hernia is the answer to my prayers!

I am in a fog and I'd like to know, how do you all overcome your depressive slumps.
After having tried patiently all the drugs my doctor prescribed me, now I've managed to see a surgeon. I hope this will fix the problem.
Don't get discuraged, just explain to your doctor how bad you feel about it and follow his instructions, if they don't work, let him know, and keep asking.
Do all the test they ask you and keep asking.
Keep some perspective on it, this is not as hard as to have AIDS or cancer. But keep talking to your doctor about it. Now that you know the cause of the problem you will find the cure. For your information the operation is called a fundoplication.
Hugs and God bless you.

" I see that this comment was 5 years ago, but it matches exactly my experience. It has taken me 66 years to finally understand. From childhood everyone rejected me, even kids at primary school ('I don't know how you'll ever make any friends' said one) and I never understood why. Now, after an endoscopy, I have been diagnosed with hiatal hernia. The bad breath I suffer from is fecal breath - the worst kind. Nothing to do with oral hygiene. Gases from undigested food in the protruded stomach come up sporadically via the oesophagus and out through the mouth. Even if you shut your mouth, it comes out through the nose. Only solution: strong mint chewing gum whenever you are in public. "
I'm going through the same issues, and I'm only 23. I can't imagine having to deal with this forever. I'm hoping my surgeon can help me find a solution.
