Hello,
A hernia can be appropriately managed with surgical repair of the weak area on the abdominal wall. Even though a person had surgical repair previously, there are chances of recurrence. Therefore, sometimes the surgeon has to perform another surgical procedure to repair it again.
Looking at your mother in law's age and health condition as she is hypertensive, it is advisable to seek a surgeon's advice if a surgical repair is necessary or the pain is manageable with medicines. So, before consulting an ayurvedic doctor with his remedies, I would suggest you consult a surgeon as he may advise some diagnostic tests to see the reason behind the pain, as it might or might not be related to the hernia. Once the underlying cause is known you can follow his advice on further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
