The best treatment for a hernia is to get surgery. Your doctor will tell you the surgery procedure after looking at the condition. Basically, there are three procedures for hernia repair; Laparoscopy, open repair, and robotic repair. Both hernia and piles need treatment.

I noticed a 22 x 22mm abdominal wall defect right above my belly button at the 12 o'clock position with some omental fat poking through what exactly does this mean and do I need surgery for it

An umbilical hernia is an unusual bulge you can often see or feel over your belly button (umbilicus). It develops when part of your small intestine, together with fat or fluid, forms a sac. The sac pushes through an opening or weakness in your abdominal wall muscle

I've had a pilonidal sinus for over a year now and it's really bothering me whenever I sit too long at work or in the car, the pain kicks in and the area swells up. Are there any treatment options for this that don't involve surgery?

By reducing direct contact with the seat, you can significantly decrease discomfort and pain. 2. Practice Good Posture: Maintaining proper posture while sitting can also help reduce pain associated with Pilonidal Sinus. Sit with your back straight and shoulders relaxed
