Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Hernia

Hi...I have no idea what happened to the piece that I was writing, so here I go again.I am a 71 yr old woman who has been battling abdominal hernias since I was 42. To date, I ve had 13 hernias repaired and am now facing 2 more. Six years ago, I had a massive repair, finishing with mesh on the lower half of my abdomen, going from one side to the other. We have no idea why they keep occurring and I d like some suggestions that might help. I am not currently in pain and am not planning another surgery. My abdomen is extended, with one of the hernias. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and help. June De Sena

Anemia
Hypoproteinemia meaning low protein in the body
Asthenia, weak muscles, obesity.

You have to get yourself checked for all these things and get everything corrected , then only it is possible that your recurrence will be stopped.
