Is surgical operation mandatory?
Yes, it is mandatory. For treatment of Hernia, surgery is the only remedy. There was never, there isn’t, and there may not be in future any treatment for Hernia other than surgical operation. Delay in operation can result into enlargement of Hernia or may cause complication like obstruction or strangulation resulting into gangrene of a part of the intestine, which is a life – threatening condition.
