Can You Get Hernias in a Barbie Butt?

This topic is about someone experiencing discomfort in their "Barbie Butt," which is a term used to describe the area where the rectum has been surgically closed. After 12 years without issues, they started feeling itchiness, soreness, and other sensations in the area following a hernia repair. They are trying to figure out if these symptoms could be due to a new hernia or some other complication.

Here are some insights and advice based on their situation:

1. It is possible for a hernia to develop in the area of a rectal closure. It would be a good idea to have a doctor examine the area to confirm or rule this out.

2. The sensations of pulling or dropping might be due to healing muscle tissue or a small unclosed opening. These areas can take longer to heal because they don't get much exposure to air or sunlight.

3. Applying Desitin cream, which contains zinc oxide, to the sore spots might help ease the discomfort while the area continues to heal.

4. If symptoms persist or there is a suspicion of infection, it is important to seek professional evaluation. Make sure to ask the doctor to specifically check for a hernia and any signs of infection.

5. It's worth noting that similar issues can occur in male patients, sometimes referred to as "Ken Butt." The important factor is the closure site itself, not the patient's gender.
