Should I have surgery for a hernia?

Patient's question:

Do you have to have surgery for a hernia? I don't want to have surgery, but don't just suppress it with medication?

Doctor's answer:

If the hernia is not severe, a hernia belt can be used, but it only alleviates symptoms and is still prone to recurrence. Only surgical treatment can lead to complete recovery. If you do not want surgery, you can use a hernia belt, pay attention to rest, and avoid strenuous exercise, which can help prevent the hernia from recurring. Pay attention to enhancing dietary nutrition, undergo regular ultrasound examinations, and avoid complications such as strangulation and abscess formation. Adjust your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
