How Long After An Umbilical Hernia Tear Does The Bulge Appear?
How long after an umbilical hernia tear does the bulge appear? I just noticed this bump yesterday and today it is a bit more sore. Could it be like a cut that you have then only after you notice it starts to hurt? I am pretty sure I got the hernia from abs crunches in the gym last week.
According to the body physics and internal system, the time period varies for appearance of bulge after muscle tear.
Usually, small tear with well-built physic can be asymptomatic without bulge for long time, whereas the same in a thin patient can be obvious within short time.
Also the strenuous activities matter a lot.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
