I have an inguinal hernia on my left side but it doesn't hurt should I still consider surgery or wait until it starts causing pain? What are the risks if I delay treatment?

While a lack of pain doesn't necessarily mean immediate surgery for an inguinal hernia, it's wise to consult with a doctor about your options.

In women, watchful waiting is not recommended due to a higher risk of femoral hernias.
