It is now considered that it is better not to have surgery if a hernia is small and painless. Up to 30 percent of groin hernia operations can lead to long-term pain or disability.Nowadays it's a question of weighing up the pros and cons of living with a hernia compared with the risk of the surgery going wrong. If a hernia is causing no problems, it can be safely left alone.
If you have a reducible hernia (this means that the hernia can be pushed all the way back in) you may benefit from wearing a hernia support. You should choose one that is guaranteed to securely hold the hernia in all positions of the body and during all activities. Keeping a hernia in may prevent it from getting larger, and some individuals have reported that small hernias have disappeared.
