My ultrasound showed an umbilical hernia with omentum herniation that's irreducible and has thickening. There's mention of strangulation too. Since it's only omentum involved, is surgery absolutely necessary or can we manage without it?

I've been dealing with both hernia and piles and I'm not sure which one needs treatment first Should I consider surgery for either of these conditions Also is it safe to get a full body massage for pain relief with these issues

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.
