Most hernias do not heal on their own. Lifestyle changes may reduce discomfort in selected cases, but surgery is usually required to repair the defect.
Hernia surgery is performed with anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort after surgery can be managed with prescribed medicines.
Laparoscopic hernia surgery may offer smaller incisions and faster recovery in suitable cases. The right approach depends on the type and size of hernia and the patient’s health condition.
Consult a doctor if you notice a bulge, pain while lifting or coughing, swelling near a previous surgery scar, or a hernia that is increasing in size.
