Should all abdominal hernias be repaired?

In general, hernias that are at risk for complications, that cause pain, or that limit activity should be repaired. If they are not repaired, there is a risk that an emergency surgical procedure may be required at a later date.

Sometimes, a hernia can be temporarily controlled by wearing a belt-like device that applies external compression, which pushes the tissues back into the abdomen and holds them there. This device is called a truss. The truss must be carefully applied on a daily basis. It should only be used for selected situations following careful evaluation by a doctor.

Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 04

I was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia about a year ago. My bowel movements are hard and I need stool softeners to have a movement. I'm concerned if this is dangerous.
