Do hernias heal on their own?

Hernias do not heal on their own and require surgical treatment to heal. Common hernias include abdominal wall hernia, inguinal hernia and incisional hernia. The cause of hernia is mainly due to local tissue weakness, resulting in the organ in the body through the weak area protruding out of the body and forming a hernia. The most common clinical hernia is inguinal hernia, the typical symptom of which is a mass in the inguinal area, which appears when standing or coughing and is relieved by rest or lying down. The pathogenesis of hernia determines that hernia cannot be cured and must be treated by surgical repair. Clinical hernia surgery varies slightly depending on the age of the patient. If the patient is a minor, the hernia sac needs to be ligated high, if the patient is an adult, a patch needs to be placed and tension-free hernia repair surgery is performed. After the hernia surgery, you need to pay attention to keep the bowel clear, avoid violent coughing, avoid the recurrence of hernia due to the increase of abdominal pressure.
