Can a hernia be treated without surgery?

Patient's question:

My buttock groove often hurts, and it aches a bit when I walk. I went to the doctor with this condition and found out that it's a hernia. The doctor also said that the fastest way to treat this is through surgery, but I'm reluctant to have surgery. Can a hernia not be treated without surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, the best treatment for a hernia is to repair it through surgery. Currently, in clinical diagnosis, traditional open surgery and laparoscopic surgery can be used. Compared to traditional surgery, laparoscopic surgery has much lower risks, and the postoperative recovery is also faster, although the cost is higher than traditional surgery. Hernia patients should definitely increase their exercise and undergo early hospital treatment.
