Can inguinal hernia be relieved with medication?

Patient's question:

The teacher recently noticed something growing in the groin area and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was a recurrent inguinal hernia. I don't quite understand what's going on, and the family is also very anxious. They have been searching for medicine everywhere and are reluctant to have surgery. So, I wanted to ask you if taking medicine can help relieve a recurrent inguinal hernia?

Doctor's answer:

First, it needs to be clarified that for inguinal hernia, the main treatment method is to decide whether to perform local repair surgery or general local repair surgery. The treatment is primarily based on surgery, and oral medication or local use of hernia belts cannot effectively alleviate symptoms. Moreover, oral medications mainly focus on determining the appropriate time to perform surgical treatment. Adjust physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened resistance.
