General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
I am very sorry to say that there is no medical treatment for inguinal hernia.
If it is small,you can go for swimming and walking.
But,the abdominal pressure should not be increased.
Hernia may lead to complications like Intestinal obstruction and gangrene of intestine.
So,please get it operated as early as possible.
Wish you good health
Regards
