How Can A Bulge In Middle Of My Midsection Area Be Treated?

Posted on Tue, 20 Apr 2021

Question: I have a bulge in middle of my midsection area, just below area of heart? Centered between breasts. It doesn't hurt, I know my hernia repair some 8ish years ago might be the issue? I can lay in bed & feel this ovalish bulge, especially when I begin to sit up to get out of bed...from anatomy pictures it's stomach/liver area? 2008 had vsleeve bariatric surgery, but my thyroid "burned out" & I have gained weight Again...help?

Brief Answer:
Can be abdominal hernia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The bulge in the abdominal wall that becomes prominent while getting up from the bed is likely to be an abdominal hernia. The hernia may relapse due to an increase in body weight or stress on the abdominal wall. This can be confirmed after a direct examination.
I hope this answers your query.
