View allI'm really worried because I had surgery about a year ago for a pilonidal sinus, and now the wound just won't heal. It's been at least 90 days since it stopped showing any signs of improvement. Can you give me some advice or suggestions on what to do?

I've had this pricking pain near my belly button for about 6 months now, and it gets worse when I cough. My scan showed an umbilical hernia - should I be worried? Do I need surgery for this or are there medicines that can help? Really confused about what treatment would be best for my case.
An umbilical hernia, while often not serious, can cause discomfort and may require surgery, depending on the severity and your individual circumstances. While medications cannot cure a hernia, they can help manage pain. Your doctor can best assess your situation and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your case

my doctor said i have a hernia in the early stage is it possible to treat it without surgery can medicines alone fix it or will i eventually need an operation
Early-stage hernias usually can't be reversed with medicine alone. Surgery is the definitive treatment, though wearing a truss and avoiding strain can delay progression in some cases.
