What usually results from pushing a hernia back in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually nothing: If pain/discomfort resolves after manual reduction. In rare cases, you can get "en masse" reduction, meaning the sac gets reduced into the abdomen without release of the actual obstructive point. But the pain usually persists of this is the case. If your hernia requires frequent manual reduction, time to get it fixed.
