Patient's question:
Just diagnosed with a hernia.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Hernias come in many types, the most common being inguinal direct and indirect hernias. Just discovered, not sure how big the hernial sac is? Has it entered the scrotum?Advice: A hernia bag only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If it was just discovered and the hernial sac is small, conservative treatment can be considered. If you smoke, you should quit, avoid heavy physical labor, and rest.
