Treatment of inguinal hernia with folk remedies

Such an unpleasant disease as an inguinal hernia is manifested by a protrusion into the inguinal canal of the internal organs, which are located in the peritoneum. Some hernias can be reduced by the patient himself; they are called reducible. But there are irreducible hernias, as a result of protrusion of organs, adhesions and a hernial sac are formed. The disease is unpleasant, but it can and should be fought.

Why does an inguinal hernia occur?

More often men suffer from inguinal hernia. Therefore, we can say that women are lucky. This is due to the structure. The inguinal canal in men is short, wide and poorly secured by muscles. The intra-abdominal pressure of the canal is high, it is this that creates the “hernial gate”, where the hernia protrudes. If you have weakened abdominal ligaments, you need to strengthen them to avoid a hernia. If you are overweight, have constant constipation and cough, if you are engaged in heavy physical labor, you are at risk. In rare cases, a hernia bulges in pregnant women. The surgeon will diagnose you and prescribe treatment, but we offer you an auxiliary, alternative option.
