Can a hernia go away on its own?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not usually: Belly button hernias in infants can go away on their own, usually by age 4-5. Unfortunately, the only way a hernia goes away in adults is with a surgical repair.

No it will not.: An inguinal (groin) hernia will not go away on its own. It will need to be repaired.
