Hello....Have you had a scan to see if there is anything there to worry about? If not, I agree with the other girls...leave sleeping dogs lie. If you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort, and you are feeling well, and there are no indications that there are problems, I would leave it be, but keep a watch for any symptoms that you feel are not right. Best wishes...Helen...
