Can my hernia be repaired without surgery?

In this video FAQ about hernia surgery, Dr. Nora Fullington answers the question - Can a hernia be repaired without surgery? Hernias are a hole in the strength layer of the abdomen. This is a different layer from the muscle - called the fascia. Patients sometimes ask if building up muscle mass in the area can close this hole. While exercise can develop muscle tissue in the area, it cannot build or heal fascia. Because of this, hernias cannot be repaired without surgery. Surgery to repair a hernia involves placing stitches and/or mesh in the area to close this space and prevent bulging. If you think you have a hernia and want to learn more about your options for repair, consider evaluation by a hernia specialist. Dr. Nora Fullington is a hernia surgeon, hernia specialist, and abdominal core health specialist at Boston Hernia.
