Hernia is a disorder that can not be treated in home conditions using medicines or natural remedies! Hernias can be treated exclusively surgically. They can appear in every age, but are most often in the third age. The lining of the abdominal cavity protrudes through the area of weakness due to aging, causing a “bulge” or balloon-like sac. Even a third percent of men get a hernia during their lifetime, while in women it is significantly reduced. The prevalence of this disease is inherited and very visible throughout generations.
