Does a hernia require immediate surgery?

Patient's question:

Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the newline characters ("") preserved as instructed:
"Disturb the doctor for a moment, I am here to ask you whether all patients with hernia need to have surgery immediately. Can it be postponed by a few days? I am currently unable to take time off for surgery. Please give me some advice, should I have the surgery right away?"

Doctor's answer:

It is better to have immediate surgery for treatment. It may be a minor surgery, and one operation can completely alleviate the problem. You won't have to worry about this anymore in the future. If the child is very young, manual reduction and careful observation can be used. Some babies may heal on their own, which can prevent the need for surgery. Hernias come in different types, and the specific treatment should be followed as recommended by professional doctors. There are also non-surgical treatment methods. Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery leaves smaller scars, causes less mental trauma, and allows for a quicker and complete recovery.
