Dear Doctor, I am 64 years old and am diagnosed with Hernia on my left side by the family doctor. I do not have any pain or difficulty at present. Should I go for a surgery now or wait till I have any difficulty due to this.

Yes you should undergo surgery for hernia. That is the only option. You can undergo open mesh hernioplasty or laparoscopic repair.
