View allI have a 7mm umbilical hernia and I've been going to the gym and lifting weights. Is there any way to cure this without surgery and could working out make the hernia worse
A 7mm umbilical hernia, while small, generally cannot be cured without surgery in adults. While exercise can help strengthen abdominal muscles, activities that increase pressure in the abdomen, like heavy lifting or sit-ups, can worsen the hernia. It's best to consult a doctor for advice on managing your hernia and safe exercise

My husband has a pilonidal cyst on his tailbone that started as a pimple with pus and blood. It healed but came back a week later, now it's inflamed but no pus. We want to avoid surgery can homeopathy help treat this?
Homeopathy has limited evidence; surgery is curative—chronic pilonidal sinus may need excision if recurrent.
