I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Surgery is the only way to fix an inguinal hernia. The doctor will push the bulging tissue back inside and strengthen your abdominal wall with stitches and perhaps mesh. They might be able to do this through a small cut in your belly using a special tool, a procedure called laparoscopy. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
