A member asked:
If i exercise everyday will it make my hernia get smaller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A hernia is a hole in the abdominal wall through which intra abdominal contents can protrude and appear as a lump under the skin. Only a surgical procedure will close the hole. Unfortunately, exercise will not.
