Hi there! I am seeking medical advice for my grandmother. She had hernia surgery about 3 years ago, and now has another hernia, in the abdomen region. However, she does not want to meet with her doctor because she's afraid of undergoing another surgery.

She says the hernia does not currently have any symptoms accompanying it. However, she has asked me to help her establish a routine for exercise. Particularly to strengthen her abdominal muscles.. Do you have any advice?
