I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this persistent lower abdominal pain, and a doctor back home suggested that it might be a hernia. I'm a bit confused about who we should see for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Should we be consulting a gastroenterologist, or is it better to visit a general surgeon for this kind of issue? Any guidance would be really helpful.
