I am 71 in good health. In a sonography taken one year back, the report shows small hernia at umbilical and supra umbilical region. I am not feeling any pain or discomfort. The doctor has put me on wait and watch and has not recommend surgery at this stage. What should I do ?

Hello dear Lybrate user, hi Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly. I agree with your doctor`s decision to wait. Surgery is not at all recommended at 71 for small hernia. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.
