The medicines that are prescribed are for Right heart failure. She can continue with the medicines.
There is no medical treatment for Umbilical hernia.
If the Hernia is big or Obstruction of small bowel is present, Surgery has to be done.
You should consult a General surgeon/Surgical Gastroenterologist , get her examined clinically and proceed accordingly. She will be shown to Anaesthetist if at all surgery is planned. Anesthetist will do Pre operative evaluation and assess the risk.
After that,you can decide whether to go ahead with surgery or not.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.

Herniya size is big. When we were taking treatment for that they right now it not posible to do surgery for hernia because of heart failure. They are not able to risk if they taken she will not take breath naturally. How to control hernia size ? Can i use belt for stomch?
Hernia size cannot be controlled.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Hernia size cannot be controlled.The size depends on the defect and the contents .If the defect is large,more contents like bowel,omental fat will enter and the swelling is seen as big.If the contents go inside the abdomen, then the swelling becomes less prominent .If the contents are present, they may go into obstruction and strangulation leading to Emergency surgery.
Abdominal belt should be used after reducing the contents. It is not a permanent solution.
Chances of complications are more during or after surgery because of heart failure.
If she is developing complications like obstruction, vomiting, constipation, strangulation surgery is a must with high risk.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish her good health.

It's better to get operated after any complication
Detailed Answer:
Hi
If the Cardiologist is not permitting for surgery,it's better to listen him.But,Anaesthetist should discuss with Cardiologist and decide about Surgery.
Surgery can be planned after any complication like Obstruction or Strangulation. Vomiting will be continuous in Obstruction. Vomiting on and off doesn't indicate Obstruction.
Hope I answered your query.
