Hernias in babies, particularly umbilical hernias, often resolve on their own as the child grows, typically by the age of 1 to 2 years. However, some hernias may require surgical intervention if they do not close naturally or if complications arise. It's essential for parents to consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance. Overall, while many hernias can heal without treatment, each case should be assessed individually.

Can a groin hernia heal without surgery?
A groin hernia typically does not heal on its own and usually requires surgical intervention for definitive treatment. While some individuals may experience temporary relief from symptoms or may manage mild discomfort with lifestyle changes, the hernia itself remains and can worsen over time. Surgery is generally recommended to prevent complications such as incarceration or strangulation of the herniated tissue. Therefore, consulting a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment options is essential.
