Do you want surgery : Hernias if asymptomatic are typically non life threatening . There are complications that can arise from hernias that can lead to emergency surgeries such as small bowel obstructions and others .Of it is not bothering you other than the cosmetic aspect is considered an elective surgery . Speak with a general surgeon to consider your options .
