Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM,
If the internal contents are intangling inside the sac and causing problems pain etc then it is better to get it operated and possibley spontenous remission is not possible in such age.
Strangulation of the intestine is possible serious complication may require immediate surgery.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
