Hello, You are suggested to get diagnosis confirmed, get clinically examined. You can stand and cough, if its hernia it will get more prominent. Get CT and MRI done. Small hernia that does not cause many symptoms can be treated by wearing a supportive truss. Make sure the truss that you are wearing is comfortable and fits properly. Check with your treating doctor. If the hernia is large and causing you pain, you will be given pain relieving medicines for symptomatic relieve but will be recommended surgery. Depending on the medical condition and severity of the symptoms your treating doctor may go for minimum invasive hernia repair or open hernia repair. You will be asked to do a few more tests, biopsy or imaging tests if your treating doctor suspects tumor, cancer or any other pathology that may be causing you symptoms. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
