After inguinal hernia surgery, it's important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing. When you are ready to return to the gym, start slowly and gradually increase your intensity. Avoid exercises that put strain on the surgical site, such as abdominal crunches, sit-ups, and exercises that involve heavy lifting or high impact

Is surgery really needed right away for a mild umbilical hernia strain or can it be managed with meds for now and done later? Could the strain be caused by gastric issues or something else besides bowel movements?

Question

I've been dealing with a right irreducible inguinal hernia where the pain starts in my lower abdomen and goes all the way to my right scrotum and testis. This has been going on for about 8-9 months, with episodes lasting 6-7 days every 2-3 months. My doctor recommended immediate surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other options like homeopathy or any alternative treatments that could help instead of going under the knife right away

Question

I'm really concerned because I've got this painful lump between my butt cheeks, on the right side, and its vertically between my anus and genitals. It's pretty painful and it's making it tough to walk or sit comfortably. Any idea what this could be and how I should handle it?
