stomach results in == negative news (hiatus hernia)

[TopDogg]

long story short...

So I was getting ready to officially start cycling right before this summer. Although, I've been delaying it for several years, also why several AAS previously bought expired which shows how dedicated I am.

Throughout the years, i always experience abdominal pain. However, recently it was extremely severe so i went to the doctors and got an endoscopy done ($240 ouch), which is an instrument used to see the interior of the body, and the results came in worst than expected.

I ended up with acids in the stomach + hiatus hernia, a hole in the upper part of the stomach into the thorax, which is why I'm constantly bloated and the cause of the abdominal pain + a few other minor symptoms. The doctor said i have to keep taking lansoprazole (30mg) for 4-8weeks and that i can also do a surgery but there's a high chance(>40%) that it wont work first time, and this usually occurs to older overweight adults (current age 26).

Major Disadvantages: I cant gain weight properly and abdominal pain.


* Is/has anyone suffered from hiatus hernia?
* Would starting a cycle in 1-2months affect me eventhough i would still have hiatus hernia?
* Would you guys still recommend to workout regularly, change up to a lighter routine(lighter weights, shorter sets, shorter reps, no abs workout) or just not workout at all?


Pretty much.. my motivation is gone downhill.

I have always wondered if I have the same condition because I have abdominal distension, and inflammation, and I haven't been able to figure out exactly why. I have cut out all foods that may be causing allergy and done an elimination diet (wheat, diary, etc), and nothing seems to "cure" my distension and discomfort. I don't have "pain" per say in the abdomen, more so just discomfort. I've also tried a parasite cleansing, colon cleansing, liver/gallbladder flushes, kidney cleanses, lung cleanses, juice fasts etc...

Recently I went to a gastro and he suggested I get an Endoscopy to start with, maybe I should do it!

In regards to your questions, I was wondering the same thing. Atm I am on TRT but I don't think that is the cause of the hernia if that's even the case with me. Really I have no idea if testosterone or AAS in general can effect such things.

I have hiatal hernia also (endoscopy found it). Mine is small and not worth the surgery they say. I don't know why aas would affect it. I would think orals would be the biggest problem as they can already upset the stomach.

Twist: did you change your workout routine afterwards? I had acids in the stomach and the combo was giving me a really hard time gaining weight, what about you?
