It depends: The presence of a hernia does not always require surgery. It depends upon the location and size of the hernia, as well as the presence of pain. I advise you to make an appointment with a general surgeon for a formal examination and consultation.

Could be fixed: Hernias can be fixed if it bothers you if not you can wait.
