A member asked:
Could you tell me what happens if you don't get treatment for a hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hernias: Will enlarge and become painful or cosmetically unacceptable. If it becomes painful, then it can incarcerate to strangulate, so it becomes urgent that you undergo surgical repair. Show it to a surgeon for an opinion on when it needs to be repaired.
