Can you tell me if there are non-surgical treatments for hernia and how serious it is I'm really worried and need more details as soon as possible
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The hernia can only be treated with surgery, really. It can be managed with the hernia belt until you're waiting for surgery, but the only real treatment for a hernia is with surgery.

View allmy 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).

Had left side indirect inguinal hernia surgery last June and now getting back into weightlifting and core exercises. Is it safe to start or could this increase the risk of the hernia coming back?
Yes, it's generally safe to resume weightlifting and core exercises after hernia surgery, especially after a laparoscopic repair, but it's crucial to do so gradually and under the guidance of your surgeon. Starting too soon or with improper technique could increase the risk of recurrence or complications.
