Patient: Male, 90 years old, suffering from a hernia for more than 5 years, with unbearable pain at the onset. He has taken tuberculosis pills and used a hernia belt, which worked at first, but now it doesn’t work. Is there any medicine that can suppress it or can it be treated surgically? Doctor: Hello, the only safe and effective way to cure a hernia in adults is to undergo surgery. If the elderly are physically able to do so, it is recommended to come for surgery as soon as possible.
