Depends on where the hernia is. All hernias dont need a surgery even though surgery is the only cure. Hernia operations are not at all dangerous.

There are many types of hernia based on its anatomical location. However hernias are very rare in females.
Hernia as such is not dangerous until it lands up in complications like obstructed/strangulated hernia.
Duration for recovery depends upon the surgical approach taken. Open Hernioplasty has longer recovery period while laparoscopic Hernioplasty has shorter recovery period
Next Steps
Kindly consult the surgeon for evaluation & accurate diagnosis before any intervention
