How severe is the pain, mild cramp pain if not disturbing night sleep or requiring pain killers can be due to functional GI disorders. No specific exercises, as Hernia is usually due to increased abdominal pressure we should try to avoid those.
Most probably she will be ok 100% buy to assure completely we need to see Patient in person and ask few questions

Please consult local Gastroenterologist
