Hernia
Q.
Hi Doctor, My Uncle has hernia disease. will it spread from person to person? Why hernia will cause. without Surgery can the patient will get a cure for a hernia?
A.
Hernia is a defect in the abdominal wall or inguinal canal through which organs of the abdomen protrude out. Hernia is not a disease, it cannot spread from person to person. Hernia must need surgery …otherwise it will get complicated, become an emergency procedure & more expensive & delay recovery. Hernia will get due to weak abdominal muscle strength…
