I'm a woman with an umbilical hernia and I'm trying to decide between open or laparoscopic surgery which one would be better for me? I've heard recovery times and risks can vary, so I'm a bit nervous about picking the right option. What factors should I consider when choosing between the two?

Open Surgery: Recovery usually takes longer, with a typical healing period of four to six weeks. Patients may experience more discomfort initially. Laparoscopic Surgery: Recovery is generally quicker, often allowing patients to resume daily activities within two weeks.

my wife has a small umbilical hernia and the doctors said surgery isn't needed right now but i'm worried about what happens if we don't do it later could it get worse also are there any foods she should avoid and how can we manage it at home

A small umbilical hernia might not require immediate surgery, but it can potentially worsen over time without treatment. It could get larger, causing pain, discomfort, or activity limitations. It's also important to be aware of potential complications like incarceration (hernia gets stuck and can't be pushed back in) or strangulation (blood supply to the trapped tissue is cut off).
