Inguinal Hernis in Male

I have had it repaired but it has come back. It is a bump which goes down at night (at the moment) and raises during the day to a bump the depth of my forefinger and about two inches long. it often squishes when I press it back in. I've been to the Dr and he has logged me in for repair but in UK with Covid circulating it's going to be months before I get attention. Any ideas about managing the hernia to stop it getting worse? PS can't edit heading but you know I mean a HERNIA. Thanks. Thanks.

Just try your best not to strain yourself, no heavy lifting.
