Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Umbilical Hernia?
Hi, i am concerned that i might have a umbilical hernia. I am a 48 year old male, somewhat overweight. Around 250 pounds. I have a slight lump directly on the lower side of my belly button and a slightly larger lump right above my belly button. My belly button originally was a inny, now it pooches out just a little. I have looked at various photos online of umbilical hernias, my belly button looks similar but then again not exactly like that.
Hi. These are called para-umbilical hernia. get a high resolution ultrasonography to confirm and get operated. The symptoms in the initial period are only swelling which pops on increased intra-abdominal pressure. Later on can cause discomfort only. Later stages can present with pain if the fat and / or intestines get stuck. Large hernia causes discomfort only.
