Patient's question:
I recently discovered a hernia through a thorough examination, but I really dislike playing basketball. With this condition, I cannot engage in physical activity.Doctor's answer:
Let's pause for a while for now. Once this condition is resolved and fully recovered, it will be fine. If someone has a hernia, it cannot be cured, and there is no specific medication to treat it. If a child has a hernia, they need to have elective surgery as early as possible to prevent the hernia from re-occurring and becoming strangulated. Activities to avoid with a hernia include strenuous exercise, such as rotational movements, as well as stretching activities, except for weight-bearing activities. It is also important to prevent constipation.
