Ukrainian Doctor Debunks Hernia Surgery Myth

Izyaslav Doctor Explains When Stomach Hernia Surgery Isn't Necessary A recent video by Ukrainian doctor, Лікар-ЕНДОСКОПІСТ Орнат Василь, from Izyaslav, has garnered attention for its informative approach to stomach hernia treatment. The doctor, who works at Соціалмедика "Сіліцея", addresses a common misconception that all hernias require immediate surgery. "Many people believe that a stomach hernia automatically requires surgery," explains Dr. Ornat. "But that's not always the case. In many instances, we can manage symptoms effectively with medication and lifestyle adjustments." Dr. Ornat illustrates his point with a recent patient case. "I recently saw a patient, a relatively young man, who was concerned about his hernia. After a gastroscopy, we confirmed the hernia, but after consultations with other doctors, including a professor in Kyiv, we determined that surgery wasn't necessary." The patient, relieved by the news, now feels more at ease. Dr. Ornat's video serves as a reminder to seek multiple medical opinions and not jump to conclusions about necessary treatments. His clear and concise explanation empowers patients to make informed decisions about their health.
