A asymptomatic hernia is of no concern at all but will always depend on the size of the defect . A sonography will definitely provide you with a better answer.

It’s a paraumbilical hernia.
It is dangerous if it lands up in complication like obstruction or strangulation of bowel
Next Steps
Kindly do Ultrasound of abdomen to see the size of defect exactly because if the defect is larger, it may require placement of mesh during the surgery
