Hernias how to get rid of it without surgery?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not possible: Hernia is a defect ( hole) in muscle layer. It can only get worse with exercise, which people try to do to make muscles stronger to try to get rid of the hernia. Not all hernias need to b fixed but there is no other cure. Sorry.

No nonsurgical cure: There are no exercises to cure a hernia. You should consult your physician.
