Surgical repair : First, you need to confirm the diagnosis of a hernia. Best done by your primary care provider. If you already know for sure that its a hernia, get a consultation with a general surgeon. If you think this is an urgent problem, you may have o go to an urgent care center or emergency room. Hope this helps!
