its not always required, it just depends on the severity of the hernia. It would probably be recommended that they did either way, because if a hernia is present its always a possibility it can get much worse rather quickly

if it down in the groin for a girl, yes , as it can trap an ovary.
Higher up in a young child, it may fix itself but needs keeping a regular eye on.
My daughter had surgery for two hernias down near the groin at 5 weeks old.

Lots of newborns get them. They can be quite painful and discomforting.
They cut you open and stitch a special mesh over the bulge.

no, not unless it is causing them great pain or interfering with daily life, or if it is in a difficult place where it can sometimes put pressure on other organs.

a hernia is a mechanical defect - if it causes symptoms or is likely to lead to complications, it needs to get operated.
