You can start by seeing a general surgeon. They are the right specialists for diagnosing and treating hernias, and they will guide you on whether surgery is needed.

If your hernia is causing acid reflux, heartburn, or digestion issues, the surgeon might also refer you to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
