View allI'm really worried about my mom as shes been diagnosed with a hernia. Who should we talk to for this, and is there any way to manage a hernia without having to go through surgery? Just trying to explore all options.
For a hernia problem, you should consult a General Surgeon. Surgery is the most effective treatment for hernias, but in some cases, a truss or supportive garment may be recommended to help manage the hernia without surgery. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action based on the specific type and severity of the hernia.

I tested positive for H pylori with some duodenal erosions and also have an inguinal scrotal hernia surgery coming up can I still go ahead with the surgery or do I need to treat the infection first
It's generally recommended to treat the H. pylori infection before undergoing hernia surgery. The presence of duodenal erosions, along with H. pylori, can potentially impact the healing process after surgery and increase the risk of complications. However, the decision of whether to proceed with surgery immediately or delay it for treatment should be made in consultation with your doctor, considering the specific circumstances of your case.
