I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. One potentially serious risk of not fixing a hernia is that it can become trapped outside the abdominal wall?or incarcerated. This can cut off the blood supply to the hernia and obstruct the bowel, resulting in a strangulated hernia. This requires urgent surgical repair. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
