Hi practo user,
If the diagnosis of epigastric hernia has been confirmed by clinical examination and ultrasound abdomen then it’s better you get it operated.
Though there is no urgency to undergo surgery but decide as early as possible before it increases in size and leads to other hernia related complications.
