A member asked:

Doc said i have mild hernia is their anything i can do to help it go away or something apparently had 4 awhile he was to busy to answer my call back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hernias stay: Hernias represent a defect in the abdominal wall or inguinal region, commonly in the groin or around the belly button. With obesity, there is increased abdominal pressure which creates more symptoms. Weight loss helps, and can minimize symptoms. However – the hernia itself never resolves or disappears. It may just become less symptomatic. They generally enlarge over time. Surgery is corrective.
