my doctor said i have a hernia in the early stage is it possible to treat it without surgery can medicines alone fix it or will i eventually need an operation
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Early-stage hernias usually can't be reversed with medicine alone. Surgery is the definitive treatment, though wearing a truss and avoiding strain can delay progression in some cases.

View allMy 42-day-old baby has been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia, and the doctor recommended surgery. I read somewhere that the baby should weigh over 10 kg, but mine is only 4.10 kg. The pediatric surgeon didn't mention weight as a concern should I go ahead with the surgery or wait for him to gain more weight? What are the risks involved in operating at this age and weight?
hernioplasty is advised.sx opinion is advised.

I'm really concerned about my recovery after having perianal abscess surgery on November 30th. It's been 8 days now, and I'm still seeing pus discharge; plus, there's a bit of pain after I have a bowel movement. I've been using Livoluk as a stool softener and doing sitz baths three times a day to help. Do you have any idea how much longer I might need to continue the wound dressing and how long it'll take for everything to fully heal up? I'm in the IT field and eager to know when I might be able to return to work. Any advice would be great.
