Probably : The risk associated with an inguinal hernia is the entrapment of a loop of bowel becoming " incarcerated" through the hernial defect, which can spell serious, even life-threatening consequences. A lot depends on the size of the defect in the abdominal wall. Best to get it checked out to insure nothing scary happens; many inguinal hernias can just be watched. Best to you!

Depends on risks: Are you a weight lifter; will the post-operative recovery and associated lifting restrictions be overly burdensome to you; how reducible and sizable is the hernia presently?
