Dear Ask The Doctor: I am 88, have COPD and have been told that I have two hernias, but they can not do surgery due to condition, what can I do to feel more comfortable? Dear Juanita: There is a medical devices called a TRUSS. This device holds the hernia inplace and relieves some of the symptoms associated with it. It is meant as a temporary measure until surgery can be performed. I think this device would be the ideal treatment for you at this time. You should ask your physician about this device. |
