Contact the doctor and ask what else can be done if surgery is still not indicated, since the non-surgical treatment is not alleviating the symptoms with the current plan. It could be that you may need to wait longer for the symptoms to go away, depending on what treatment you are currently using. If the doctor does not adjust your treatment plan or explain that it will take more time to relieve the symptoms with the current approach, consider seeing a different doctor. They can't help you if they don't know that the treatment is not working, so talk to them.

Ventral hernia occurs when part of the contents of the abdominal cavity-; most often a piece of intestine that protrudes through the cavity and into the abdominal wall.

Surgery is required and usually done with laparoscopic surgery, but, if there is a 'strangulation hernia' cutting off blood supply then a more extensive surgery will be done.
