My 72-year-old dad has an umbilical hernia that's been growing in size. We tried homeopathy for a year but it didn't help. He doesn't want surgery right now since he's not having any major issues, but I'm worried about the hernia getting bigger. Can Ayurveda help treat this condition or slow down its growth?

I recently had laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia, but it's been 10 days and now I'm dealing with fever and chills. They found out there's an infection and pus where the mesh is, though it's sterile with no bacteria found. The doctor thinks my body is rejecting the mesh and wants to do another surgery to take it out. Is there any other option besides a second surgery and mesh removal? And if they do take out the mesh, am I at risk of getting another inguinal hernia? Just looking for some advice on what to do next. Any suggestions?
Mesh is required to strengthen the wall, in direct hernia this is done to prevent the recurrence of hernia.. Doctor will the mesh allergy, mesh is made of inert metal which don't react with external agent.. But if you are really allergic to it then they will remove it...
