A member asked:
Does a abdominal hernia need to be repaired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not. Hernias vary in size and symptoms derived from their presence. A person can go a lifetime with no important symptoms and never need surgery. A person who has a hernia large enough to trap small bowel inside may need it fixed.
