ASA A hernia is a defect in the abdominal wall through which sometimes intestine can come out and get stuck and strangled. So now that u have a hernia it will not vanish on it self. Like if bricks are missing from a wall they will need to be replaced. The procedure and risks will be discussed on clinical examination and visit.
go for surgery
minimum risk and good time

Yes , it is better to get operated, otherwise it may complicate.Not a big operation, Little bit risk of choice complications is there but not much in good centres in good hands.
Only treatment for hernia is Surgery. The sooner the better. Because the biggest concern is that may strangulate the important structures if not operated.
