Hello,


At 77 years of age, hernia treatment should be planned after checking your overall health and medical history. Since you are currently staying near AIIMS in Andhra Pradesh and are from West Bengal, you can check the following hospitals for hernia consultation and treatment:



Carry your previous reports, ultrasound/scan reports, prescriptions, current medicines and other medical records for the consultation.


If the hernia becomes very painful, hard or swollen, cannot be pushed back, or you develop vomiting, severe abdominal pain or difficulty passing stool/gas, please go to the nearest emergency department immediately.


Wishing you and your family good health always.
Warm regards,
Team HexaHealth
