Get it fixed: Homeopathy is not going to fix it, before you develop complications get your hernia repaired by simple out patient surgical procedure.

Up to you: Hernias are repaired to prevent them from getting worse and to relieve symtoms. Only a surgical operation will fix a hernia in an adult. See a general surgeon for a consultation in order to make an informed decision.
