Can you please tell me about a ventral hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In general,: Ventral hernia would require surgical repair, if it causes symptoms such as pain, nausea/vomiting, or deformity. A lot depends on location and size, so consult a surgeon for specific recommendation in your case.
