Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the hernia is increasing in size and causing discomfort, you may want to consider speaking to your doctor to find out if an earlier appointment can be arranged.
If this is not possible at this office, then you can ask your GP for referral to another general surgeon who may have an earlier appointment.
I hope this helps
