hernia disease - #17333

For the past few months, I’ve been experiencing a strange bulge in my lower abdomen. At first, it would come and go, mostly when I was lifting something heavy or coughing hard. I didn’t think much of it, but recently, the bulge has become more noticeable, and now there’s a mild discomfort that wasn’t there before. Sometimes, when I press on the area, the lump seems to go back in, but it comes out again after some time. I finally went to the doctor, and they told me I have hernia disease. They explained that a hernia happens when an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The doctor mentioned that hernias are common in the abdomen and groin area and that they can get worse over time. He said that in many cases, surgery is the only way to fix a hernia disease permanently. I don’t want to rush into surgery unless absolutely necessary, so I started looking into natural ways to manage or even heal hernia disease. Does Ayurveda offer any treatments that can strengthen the abdominal muscles and prevent the hernia from getting worse? I’ve read that certain herbs like Ashwagandha, Triphala, and Guggulu are beneficial for muscle strength—can they help in this condition? Also, are there specific lifestyle changes that can prevent a hernia from getting bigger? I work a desk job and don’t get much physical activity, so I wonder if that has contributed to this issue. Are there Ayurvedic exercises, yoga postures, or breathing techniques that can help? Should I be avoiding certain movements or foods that could make the condition worse? I’m really hoping to find a way to manage this naturally and avoid surgery if possible. Has anyone here successfully treated or managed hernia disease with Ayurveda? What worked best for you?
