Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Persistent lump despite pain relief suggests hernia is still present—surgery is advised to prevent future complications; for your mom, spine X-ray and physio are recommended.

View allI'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

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
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.
