Except for umbilical hernias in babies, hernias don't just go away on their own you NEED TO HAVE SURGERY.
Over time, your hernia may become larger and more painful, and in some cases, a piece of the intestine could become trapped (this is known as incarceration). In a true surgical emergency, the blood supply could be cut off to the incarcerated intestine (this is known as strangulation). This situation is painful and dangerous because it can cause infection and may cause the strangulated tissue to die, so it's important to call your doctor.
