How to get rid of a hernia?


Surgery. Have hernia repair surgery. There is no other way. You can't tow it away.



  •   How to get rid of a hernia?
  •   I am 79 and in fairly good health. Should I stay with a truss or seek an operation?
  •   I am anxious about having surgery. Is that normal?
  •   I am having pain at the site of my 3 year old hernia repair, why?
  •   I am in North Carolina. Does that make a difference?
  •   I am more concerned about general anesthesia than surgery. What are the risks?
  •   I am still constipated 2 days after hernia surgery. Is this serious?
  •   I had a coughing fit after surgery. Did I ruin my repair?
  •   I have a sloshing sound when I push in my hernia. Does that mean its getting worse?
  •   I have been told that my hernia is inguinal and femoral. Does it matter.
