I've been diagnosed with mild reducible bilateral inguinal hernia but sometimes the pain gets really bad on both sides. Are there any ayurvedic medicines that could help manage this and possibly avoid surgery?

Some low-grade fistulas heal with Ksharasutra (Ayurvedic) or antibiotics—but surgery is usually curative and best long-term.

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
An irreducible inguinal hernia where pain radiates down to the scrotum and testis likely indicates an incarcerated hernia. This means the hernia is trapped and cannot be pushed back into the abdomen, and the trapped tissue is causing pain and potentially compromised blood flow. This requires immediate medical attention, as a strangulated hernia (where the trapped tissue loses blood supply) can be life-threatening
