about having a hernia what are the treatments

A supportive truss or belt is used only for those who are unfit for an operation. This is an elastic band that exerts pressure on the defect in the abdomen. Wearing a supportive truss can help stop a hernia from protruding but cannot cure it. Surgery is the only definitive cure for a hernia. The operation may be done under general, spinal or local anaesthesia. Various operations can be done for hernia repair. The repair may either use the surrounding muscles and structures to strengthen the defect in the abdominal wall or a nylon mesh may be used for the repair. The operation is quite safe and takes about an hour. More recently, the hernia repair is being done by laparoscopy. This is a surgical procedure for hernia repair in which a viewing tube and special instruments are used to repair the hernia from within the abdomen through a small opening.

You have some good information and advice here. Please see your doctor, and he/she can refer you to the correct specialist. My husband had his hernia repaired surgically over a year ago, and he did great after surgery. It was done as an out-patient at a surgical center, and I had him home within 2 hours after the surgery. He was off work for 4-5 days and just took it easy and let me wait on him. Believe me, he is a chicken when it comes to surgery, and he finally got tired of both his doctor and his wife telling him to get it repaired, so he bit the bullet and did it. Yahoo!
