Asking for Self, Male, 19 years old, Rawalpindi
I was recently diagnosed with inguinal hernia, I am a 19yr old male. The doctor suggested immediate surgery. My father is a bit Concerned about the treatment and says it's too early. Is it best to get this hernia treated as soon as possible or should I wait. Also what kind of procedure is this surgery and are there any risks. Please I want your honest opinion, it will be of great help. (P. S the hernia is about the size of golf ball.)
If symptoms are present then it should be operated
Go for surgery
Minimum risk
ASA A hernia is a defect in the abdominal wall through which sometimes intestine can come out and get stuck and strangled. So now that u have a hernia it will not vanish on it self. Like if bricks are missing from a wall they will need to be replaced. The procedure and risks will be discussed on clinical examination and visit.
go for surgery
minimum risk and good time
Yes , it is better to get operated, otherwise it may complicate.Not a big operation, Little bit risk of choice complications is there but not much in good centres in good hands.
Only treatment for hernia is Surgery. The sooner the better. Because the biggest concern is that may strangulate the important structures if not operated.
