Permanent? Not likely. Pushing that lump back through the weak bit of the abdominal wall, doesn't cure the weakness.

But with an INCISIONAL hernia, it may well heal over time.
Unfortunately these things are often a problem which comes with aging tissues. Often they do not hurt or do much harm but if they do, then surgery is the only recourse. Brian

Worked
