A hernia won't automatically heal, even if it stops bulging in a particular condition. Delaying treatment can have serious consequences because there are no warning signs associated with it. The complications could develop suddenly, necessitating an urgent medical situation for the patient.
A strangulated/incarcerated hernia may occur if there is a noticeable bulge or protrusion and there are accompanying symptoms of nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, or inability to have a regular bowel movement. In this case, you should seek medical attention right away.
The treatment for a hernia depends on its size, location, and severity. In general, the best treatment for a hernia is surgery. The most common surgical technique for a hernia repair is called “herniorrhaphy”. This involves making an incision at the site of the hernia and pushing the protruding tissue back into the abdominal cavity. The weakened muscle wall is then reinforced with stitches, mesh, or other materials to prevent the hernia from recurring.
There are two main types of hernia repair surgeries: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.
In some cases, a watchful waiting approach may be taken, particularly if the hernia is small and not causing any symptoms. However, it's important to note that hernias will not heal on their own and will require surgery at some point to prevent complications.
In conclusion, the best treatment for a hernia is surgery, which can provide long-lasting relief from symptoms and prevent the hernia from recurring. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment for your specific situation.
A general physician can also diagnose a hernia and may refer you to a general surgeon who is specialized in performing laparoscopic surgeries.
Hernias will not go away with time, nor can they be treated with exercises or medication. Surgery is the only treatment to repair a hernia.
Surgery is usually not painful as it is performed under the influence of general anesthesia. You will likely feel sore and uncomfortable after hernia surgery while the incision site heals. While some people experience pain a month or more after hernia surgery, most people feel better in a couple of weeks.
