I've been diagnosed with a hernia but I'm really hesitant about getting surgery are there any other effective treatments or lifestyle changes that could help manage it? I'm worried about the risks and recovery time
While hernia surgery is generally recommended, some individuals may be able to manage hernias through lifestyle changes and other conservative treatments, especially if the hernia is small and not causing significant symptoms. These options include dietary adjustments, weight management, exercise, and, in some cases, using a hernia support belt. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your specific situation, as hernias can sometimes worsen over time and may eventually require surgery
