with growing age it regresses and goes inside

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Most umbilical hernias are nothing to worry about, and go away without medical treatment by the time a child is 4–5 years old. Surgery is done only if: the hernia doesn't close by age 4 or 5. the hernia becomes incarcerated (can't be easily reduced)
