To be short from various sources I learnt the clue moments of hernia
treatment were:
1. decreasing intra-abdominal pressure
2. relaxing abdominal muscles
3. 'detoxication' of the abdominal wall
4. upstanding and proper exercises for abdominal muscles
1. it's caused by gases, constipation, overeating, coughing, prolonged
sitting and bending, very fast body movements, insufficient or not
equable liquid consumption, various diseases of abdominal cavity.
Adhesions is an additional factor here...I had to change my diet and
water consumption regime.
2. it takes off cramps and spasms - massage, auto-massage, warm baths,
compresses, hot-water bottles. Frequent but short breaks during any
sitting or standing work.
3. detoxication of the abdominal cavity. It sounds a bit mystically
but in fact it's directed for normal metabolism in abdominal muscles.
Personally I used vapoured urine compresses for it.
4. physical exercises. It's most important topic. At first slow
walking then more fast. Then swimming if available. Later running and
special exercises. Upstanding itself, swimming and hanging help us to
stretch our abdominal organs and to put them to proper natural places.
I'd like to add that was just my personal opinion... I used all of
above without any physician's advice. To be frank if there is real
strangulation of intestine loops then urgent surgery is strongly
supposed. But if the case is not very serious I believe a man could
avoid an operation.

your responses to messages once again!! How are you doing healthwise?

Thanks. I'm rather not bad. I worked hard on couple of software
projects and had to unsubscribe for some months.
It seems spring's now and Nature is awaking and all us too. Suppose now
it's not the time for illness.. :)
