No such luck. Inguinal hernias can only be treated surgically because the problem is anatomical. Inguinal hernias are caused a defect in the fascia in the abdomen that causes intestine to protrude into the abdomen or testicle. Herbal treatments will only delay proper care by a surgeon - such delay can result in infection, bowel ischemia, or even death.
This is the typical Western medicine answer....always wanting to cut people up. Chinese medicine has been treating hernias for centuries with acupuncture and herbs. Don't go under the knife until you've considered Chinese medicine! add a comment
This is not true. Doctors are not trained in, have no experience with and therefore mistrust natural healing. men have traditionally healed hernias w/o surgery, through diet and exercise. Surgery weakens the area and requires more and more surgery. Take personal responsibility. add a comment
