Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Out of your symptoms, the leaking of poop fluid might not be related to your intestinal hernia. This could be due to an uncontrolled diabetes, and so I would advise you to get your blood sugar tested before undergoing any kind of dental or any invasive treatment. The answer to which surgery to be done first depends on a clinical assessment of your treating doctor for the urgency of the condition and has to be judged by him carefully. Once the sugar is well controlled, and you are made fit by the physician, any of the surgery could be undertaken depending on the priority. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
