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

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.

My 72-year-old dad has an umbilical hernia that's been growing in size. We tried homeopathy for a year but it didn't help. He doesn't want surgery right now since he's not having any major issues, but I'm worried about the hernia getting bigger. Can Ayurveda help treat this condition or slow down its growth?
