What Does a Hernia Feel Like?
9. Seeing Your Doctor
An untreated hernia is not going to go away all by itself. While you can push the bulge back into your abs in some cases, this is the equivalent of bandaging the wound and it will repeat until it has been resolved. The moment you realize you’re dealing with a hernia, whether safe or strangulated, you want to go to the doctor and get a more in-depth understanding of what you are dealing with and how to properly have it treated. The most common way to treat a hernia is through surgery.
Reducing the impact of hernia symptoms comes down to changing your lifestyle. If you are overweight or a smoker, you need to make adjustments to how you live your life in order to improve the situation and reduce the odds of another hernia developing down the line.
