My daughter told me her boyfriend has a hernia on the right, front part of his body near the hairline. He said he couldn't see it but it's very sore and when he went to get it looked at they told him it may heal by itself. Is that right? He's 23 and does construction work.

hernias are caused by the muscles tearing apart and the underlying tissue bulging thru. It might heal, in young people, but it is unlikely if he continues in a strenuous activity like construction work. Repair is a surgical procedure, and requires some time off to heal up, so he may not want to give up that much money to heal his body....of course, if he doesn't get it repaired, it will continue to tear and get much worse, he even risks serious consequences if he ignores it too long.

The "hernia" is the defect.It's a weakness and a defect in the abdominal wall,causing the intestine or other organs to bulge through.Very common especially with men and boys to have an" inguinal heria" in the groin area.Most are treated with surgery to repair the defect,others are left alone when they don't cause the patient any problems. He should have his MD check this,because his working may have made this worse,hernia's causing problems cannot heal themselves if a part of the intestine is strangled and without blood supply,see a new doctor. Take care. SW RNP

i do no longer comprehend what an oblique hernia is, yet there is an inguinal hernia it quite is in the groin area. it is reducible, that's what you defined because it extremely is getting smaller. it gets back and is aggravated by lifting, straining, inspite of BM and different activites.they'll see the hernia because it comes for the period of the muscular tissues. in case you have tingling sensation, then there is a few nerve involvement. So, take it elementary despite you do, esp lifting, donning or straining. it could worsen. The surgical technique is an elementary fix and additionally you will fell extra effectual afterwards. stable good fortune. there are additionally umbilical hernias,they are around the tummy button.

yes it can. A hernia is a break in the integrety of the muscle wall allowing the intestines to come through the muscle. The muscle can "heal up" and decrease the hernia. Really there is no risk with hernias unless it can't be decompressed...ie the intestine (budlge) can't be pushed back in. That is when surgery is required.

No I never heard of a hernia repairing itself.

it's better if he treats it with a surgery. It's a very small surgery, not a big deal
