Health TIps - Most hernias can be cured by an operation

Saturday, December 12, 2009

Most hernias can be cured by an operation. One should not delay an operation: the younger one is the easier and more successful is the operation. The best way of preventing hernia is to do plenty of exercise for strengthening the abdomen – such as lying flat on one’s back and raising one’s legs, without bending the knee, about a foot. Doing the exercise about 20 times a day will strengthen the abdominal muscles and may eliminate the need of an operation or any possible trouble with hernia altogether. The other thing to remember is to try not to lift heavy weights, especially after a certain age.
