Hi. I want to ask if taking collagen as a dietary supplement will help me recover from the initial stages of inguinal hernia. I read on the Internet that it helps the formation of connective tissue, and I need exactly that - strengthening. I have no swelling, I had only mild pain for the first 3 months. For a year now I have no pain, I even go to the gym again, but somehow I want to be more sure that it will heal at least 80%. I am 18 years old.

How did you know you had a hernia? Did you consult a doctor or do you think so? Hernia is treated only surgically, I personally do not know of any other way.
3 doctors gave the same opinion. They said that the hernia did not break but only weakened the tissue and they said that if I did not strain for 1 year it would be fine. Otherwise, you're right, the hernia with the pill won't take it away. For this 1 year pains appear only when cycling and hiking for 18-20 km but the pain is weak and disappears in 1 day. With this collagen I want to test if it will heal and stop hurting. And I want to ask if something can hurt me because I'm still young and as far as I know people in old age drink it to rejuvenate
