Hernias always get bigger?
This is another recurrent reading: hernias cannot get smaller, they always get bigger with time….the argument is often used to sell a surgery sooner rather than later. The idea behind is that a broken wall cannot get back to being unbroken. Or that a something loose can only loosen more…but is it really so with a part of the human body?

Worry more about symptoms.
If the hernia is not causing any trouble, it does not need repair.
Also, work on getting the body in shape. Stop smoking. Get Skinny.
