Natural Treatment for Hernia
-
Causes
-
Some people have predisposed weak spots in their abdomen due to genetics, scarring, or the incomplete development of muscle around the belly button.
Symptoms
-
In children, a non-painful bump may appear in the abdominal region. In adults, a protrusion in the abdomen is usually accompanied by intense pain.
Treatment
-
In most cases, a hernia will heal on its own---if it is given ample time to recover without being strained.
Rest
-
The less strain you place on a hernia, the faster it is likely to recover. Considering this, most doctors claim the best medicine to be rest. If this doesn't work, surgery to repair the hernia will be necessary.
Equipment
-
Trusses or surgical belts may be worn to help keep the protrusion in place while healing proceeds.
