Can a ingunial hernia go away on its own or with meds?

No: A inguinal hernia is a structural disorder that requires surgical correction. No meds are available to correct this condition. Seek the care of a surgeon experienced with this type of operation. Feel better.

Hernia: Hernias are due to weakening of tissues and will require surgical procedure for correction.

No: Hernias only go away with surgery. However they probably should only be fixed if the are symptomatic. Symptoms would be pain or you can't push them back in.

Not usually: Umbilical hernias in infants can go away on their own by age 4-5. The only way a hernia goes away in adults is with a surgical repair. The reason for repair is to prevent it from getting worse and/or relief of symptoms. You'll have to weigh the risks/ benefits for yourself. See a general surgeon for more education.
