What Is The Treatment Of Umbilical Hernia ?
My umbilical hernia feels like it is getting worse. I cant see a surgeon until tuesday .my lower back muscles Are very strained and seems to be related. I dont have any classic symptoms like it is strangulating but my abdomen is extremely bloated and the actual buldge of the hernia seems larger than yesterday.

Hello,
For now, you can do icing for your hernia and hot water fermentation for the lower back to relieve the symptoms. Post this take good bed rest and repeat the procedure for 3-4 times a day. Only if you are diabetic then icing is contraindicated.
Post meeting the surgeon please do let me know what are the next calls considered by the surgeon.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most umbilical hernia issue is resolved by exercise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
