I'm 56 and have had an inguinal hernia on my right lower abdomen for 2 years now. I really want to avoid surgery can ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments help? I live in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh could you suggest the best doctor for this?

While Ayurveda and homeopathy may offer symptom relief, they generally don't cure hernias and may not be a long-term solution for inguinal hernias. Hernias typically require surgery for a permanent fix.
