A member asked:
Do i need surgery for a small hernia that has no symptoms or pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What type of hernia is it or where is it located? Small hernias, without symptoms, that do not contain loops of intestine can be watched. But it would be best to see a surgeon to discuss what your risks are with and without surgery.
