Hello Doctor, My self Arvind Goyal. My Son Atharav Goyal aged 1 year has hernia in his genital area. Regarding the same i have consulted many doctors and now too much confused. Few doctors told me that hernia can't be cured and suggested to operate only. Few told me that it will be cured automatically as per the age passes and recovered within 2 to 3 years. Thus unable to decide weather should I wait to recover automatically or operate him now??
