Lifting with hernia?

At my annual physical yesterday, the Doc told me that I have a 'little bit of a hernia' on my right side. Also mentioned that some people go their entire lives with a hernia but no discomfort. Recommended that I get surgery if it ever starts to bother me, although not required.

I haven't had any symptoms yet, apparently just got it within past year since I had my last physical in early 2018. I'm 40 and my exercise routine is above average regarding intensity. While I do a lot of squats/lunges/deadlifts, they are typically not very heavy.

The one (sort of) exception is that I've started doing deadlifts with that hexagon(?) type bar within the past year. I weigh about 175 lbs but have never gone above lifting 225 lbs deadlifts for about 6-8 reps (which I previously didn't think was all that heavy). Never any discomfort but my plan is to simply stop doing this exercise but continue everything else. No surgery unless I start feeling discomfort. Anything wrong with this line of thinking?
