Your Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a hernia go away on its own?

No. A hernia does not heal by itself. Some small hernias can be watched, but many need repair.

Is a mesh used in hernia repair?

A mesh is commonly used to strengthen the repair. Your surgeon will explain whether it is right for you.

When can I return to work?

It depends on the type of repair and the work you do. Your surgeon will advise you.

Can a hernia come back after surgery?

It can happen in some cases. Following your surgeon's advice after the operation helps lower the risk.
