I noticed a small 6mm defect in the linea alba right above my belly button with some fat poking through but no bowel loops. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? I'm a bit worried about it getting worse
A 6mm defect in the linea alba with fat protruding but no bowel loops likely indicates a small epigastric hernia. While surgery is the standard treatment, watchful waiting may be an option for small, asymptomatic hernias. You can also try temporary solutions like wearing a hernia belt or truss, holding the area when straining, and avoiding heavy lifting. However, it's crucial to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and to discuss the best course of action for your specific situation.

I've been diagnosed with a right inguinoscrotal hernia after a scrotal Doppler scan, and all doctors are recommending surgery. I'm wondering if homeopathy could be a good alternative will it actually help fix this or should I just go for the surgery?
In this procedure, which might be done with local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision in your groin and pushes the protruding tissue back into your abdomen. The surgeon then sews the weakened area, often reinforcing it with a synthetic mesh (hernioplasty)
