How to treat inguinal hernia without surgery - #15259

I have an inguinal hernia on the lower right side of my abdomen. It's painful and swells out sometimes after eating and carrying heavy objects. I have no other major signs apart from that. It appeared while I was playing football and I am 30 years old

An inguinal hernia occurs when a part of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot or opening in the abdominal muscles, typically in the lower abdomen or groin area. It’s more common in men and can be caused by a combination of factors such as heavy lifting, straining during physical activity, or even playing sports like football, which may have contributed to the hernia. The pain and swelling you experience, especially after eating or carrying heavy objects, are typical symptoms as the pressure on the abdomen increases. Though many inguinal hernias are small and may not cause immediate serious problems, they can worsen over time or become incarcerated (trapped), leading to more severe symptoms. The best course of action usually involves seeking medical advice. In many cases, hernias are managed with surgery to repair the weakened area, especially if the hernia is painful or getting larger. Non-surgical options like wearing a truss or support belt might be suggested temporarily, but surgery is often the long-term solution to prevent complications. You should consult with a doctor to discuss treatment options tailored to your specific condition.

Ah, dealing with an inguinal hernia can be quite uncomfortable, I get that. Now, while Ayurveda offers supportive care and can ease some symptoms, gotta be clear: a hernia, if the pain or protrusion gets worse, may require professional medical intervention. But let's see how we can help you manage it better in the meantime with Ayurvedic approaches.
Firstly, understanding your body's constitution (dosha) is key. If you've got a strong vata imbalance, for instance, movements like playing football wouldn’t have helped. Regularity and stability in daily routines can help pacify vata. I'd recommend a lighter diet that avoids triggers of vata imbalance - like dry, cold, or erractically timed meals.
Start your day with light and warm meals. Warm ginger tea could aid digestion and help reduce swelling. Ginger is great for deepana (digestive fire). Avoid raw salads and cold beverages; go for well-cooked, easy-to-digest food, maybe kichadi.
Incorporate foods that are less likely to create gas and bloating like moong dal, leafy veggies, and cooked apples. Avoid heavy lifting or exertion – for obvious reasons, right?
Ayurveda also suggests gentle yoga and breathing exercises (pranayama), helping reduce stress and bringing about harmony to your agni (digestive fire). Something like gentle forward bends can help, but ensure you're not straining yourself.
Apply warm castor oil on the hernia site, it's been known to reduce swelling. And do it with care, circular motions only.
If you experience severe pain, notice a sudden size increase, or feel nauseated, seek immediate medical attention.
Remember, Ayurveda complements medical treatment but doesn’t replace urgent medical needs. Keep tabs on your symptoms and get help if it worsens, yeah?
