I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Many doctors recommend surgery because it can prevent a rare but serious problem called strangulation. This occurs when a loop of intestine or a piece of fatty tissue is trapped in a hernia and the blood supply is cut off, which kills the tissue. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
