I was just diagnosed with an umbilical hernia and I'm a mom to a 6-month-old baby. I'm really worried about the surgery how many days would I need to stay in the hospital and what's the usual cost for open hernia surgery? I'm trying to figure out how to plan everything with my little one.

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.
