What is the size of abdominal scar. What is the size of hernial protrusion, reducible or not, etc are things which will decide the needful action. Small hernia with small swelling, reducible with slight pressure can be controlled by pressure belts around abdomen. Anything which increases abdominal pressure like coughing, constipation, weight lifting must be avoided. Large hernias need reinforcement surgery in the abdominal scar area, but the decision is left on the operating surgeon and the actual condition, if there are some risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, etc
