Hernia: Depending on the size and if it changes sizes or if it causes pain, it may need to be evaluated by a surgeon. See your doctor about it first.

Analyse risk/benefit: Hernias can stay the same or get worse. Currently you are aware of a defect, but not having any complications. Getting a doc to confirm the diagnosis is correct. Some hernias get worse and can put your health at risk, which is the basis for recommending surgical repairs. Be well.
