<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.my father is suffering fromm harnia disease . his age is about 72 years old and fear from sergery. so i reques u plz sir., other treatment for hirahia without operation request sir save the life of my father plz give me some suggestion he alsom suffering from operation phobia my mail id is this YYYYYY toyday we blongs to high technology world so plz sir  <response>: With increased age, the tone of muscles comes down and hence certain structures from beneath often push through it giving rise to a hernia. Since the supporting structure is weak, it needs to be artificially strengthened using a mesh in a hernia surgery. No medicine or home remedy can help him regain the strength of those muscles and hence surgery is the only option. Without the surgery, the structures that are protruding, can get entangled and create further complications. Please be reassured as the process is very simple and is not likely to cause any life threat to your father.
