A hernia occurs when an organ protrudes through the muscle or tissue that usually contains it. It can be external-so that it shows as a lump on the surface of the abdomen or in the groin-or internal, like a hiatal hernia, caused by a weakness in the diaphragm.
Common types of hernia
The most common types of hernia occur in the groin and are called inguinal or femoral hernia, depending on the site of the weakness. They can also oocur in the diaphragm (hiatal hernia); in the upper part of the abdomen in the midline (ventral hernias); and through weakness in the posterior wall of the abdomen, when they are usually not visible as lumps.
Hernias that develop at an operation site where the muscles have failed to heal properly are called incisional hernias.
Homeopathic treatment for hernia
Homeopathy is one of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The selection of remedy is based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering.

It would be very helpful to add some cases of cure and a discussion as to when surgery is unavoidable.
I have a inguinal hernia as the Doctor told me during examination. My left side near groin is swollen and pains walking long distances. I am certainly not in favor of surgery as I cannot afford high cost of laproscopy asking me indian Rs. 1 lac (equivalent to $2000) which is non affordable for people like me. I am desperately searching for medicinal cure and free non-invasive treatment plans available in hospital, internet or elsewhere. I am deeply in pain and now I have started feeling excruciating pain below my scrotum also. I don’t know what should I do and whom to refer to for my problems. Certainly your website seems interesting and curing procedures are mentioned.
Could you please help me in this regard as I am badly in need of some non-invasive treatment clinics in India or website addresses, which can guide me through this process of curing me without surgery as I cannot afford high cost of surgery. Off course in comparison to world hospitals India is cheapest and all the patients come here for surgery. But for an Indian this amount of $ 2000/- is very high and non affordable. We hardly earn $200 and monthly and hardly able to save from such a meagre amount for rainy day and all life depends on free treatment. If you can suggest some free treatment/surgeons of hernia in India then please do let me know. I am ready to exchange all types of information if you want like if you have any patient who has money then I will help him. Or any other help that you think I am ready to give. And you give me this help of non-invasive homeopathic treatment of my problem that I mentioned. Please mention the medicine names and how many pills to take. Please guide me.
thanks,
Patient.
