Hello sir,
Sorry for my English, I have been diagnosed with "early hernia" at the left side of the triangle area below my belly button, it's not a "real hernia" (I think), I mean no organs went out yet, but looks like the area is so weak that the left side is a bit higher than right side (of the triangle), I'm a male, 27, used to do about 20-30 minutes of ab workouts 3 days/week for the last 4 or 5 months, maybe I did something wrong coz I can't remember I never tried to lift something heavy.
Do you think that I can tackle this problem without a surgery ? should I rest now first OR focus on lower abdomen muscles exercises (the one you lie on your back and raise your legs), I'm not sure what to do as I read that in case this is an injury bcoz of the exercises I used to do then I should rest for few weeks first, or do they mean to take rest of my heavy abs exercises only ? but I'm not sure if it's an injury or not.
also should I pull abdomen to spine as they advise normally ? I feel better when I do this for the low abdomen muscles, I usually feel a mild pain if I left my abdomen pushing the muscles specifically after eating.
Which doctor(s) I should visit ? Surgery or Physiotherapy or who ?
Any suggested types of foods ? will "super foods" do any good or speed the recovery ?
Any other advises ?
Thank you very much in advance!
