A member asked:
I got an inguinal hernia at 26 weeks pregnant. can i still exercise (swimming etc.)? can it be operated during pregnancy? are there alternatives?

Talk to doctor: Surgery can be done during pregnancy. The only treatment for a hernia is surgery. You should talk to your doctor about whether they think you should have the surgery now, or wait until after the pregnancy isn't putting so much pressure on the hernia.
