Can inguinal hernia be cured without surgery?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 29-year-old male. I am suffering from a right inguinal hernia for the past two months. I consulted a doctor and he asked me to go for surgery. Is it possible to cure inguinal hernia without surgery? Currently, I have consulted a homeopathy doctor and I am on medicine given by him.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If the hernia is in the first or second degree, there are treatment options available. For a third-degree hernia, surgery is the only treatment option. During episodes of pain and swelling, you can take the following medicine.

Take two teaspoons of Varanadi Kashaya (Karanja, Bael, Haritaki, Brihati) diluted with water twice daily after meals.
Take one tablet of Vridhivadhika Vati (Sunthi, Mirach, Lauh Bhasma) twice daily.
Also, take one tablet of Kankayan Vati (Haritaki's bark, Maricha, Pippali) twice daily.

Try to avoid activities that put excess pressure on the abdomen, such as coughing, laughing loudly, and lifting heavy objects.

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
