I'm sorry to hear about the hernia. Those aren't any fun. I don't want to give medical advice, because that's the role of doctors and all, but I would say that when you talk to a surgeon about addressing it, you have a good talk about options and especially the risks. I know someone who had an inguinal hernia and had it repaired with a mesh. They eventually started suffering from chronic pain and all, to the point where it's affected their employment and mental health. From what they've shared with me, it has not been an easy ride for them.
