First off, I am not a medical professional, nor is anyone else in this forum. The forum is for patients who have had hernias, and people who are looking for answers to questions from people that have gone through the experience.
Regarding your question, I would have the surgery. I had a para-umbilical hernia repair. My hernia was reducible, meaning I could easily push it back in. but it always popped back out (a weird feeling).
I had no pain and was considering a watchful waiting protocol but my doctor said that the risk is that these hernias are very small and there is a chance that it could be strangulated which would cut off blood supply to the protruding intestine creating a major problem.
All of my Internet searches said the same and recommended surgery.
Your next question should be whether to use mesh or not. Some doctors use mesh and some do not. I think most use the size of the hernia to make the decision. Mine was closed without mesh because it was very small.
Good luck
