I have been diagnosed with a hernia. I'd like to know what I can do to prevent it from coming back.

One way to prevent a hernia from recurring is to maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly. Additionally, you should try to reduce your risk of developing another hernia by avoiding activities that may put strain on the abdominal muscles or cause coughing or sneezing. You should also talk to your doctor about any lifestyle changes that could help reduce your chances of getting a hernia again.
