My friend is having a hole in her heart. She is 19 and currently having no issues like pain or any other stuff but some doctor told her that the hole will fill up as she grow up and ultimately will disappear. I want to know is it possible that hole in hearts are curable without operating and is there anything like fill up with the age ? please respond.
