General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. The symptoms of a supra umbilical hernia might vary according to the size of the hernia. If it the size of the head baby bulging out of your abdomen, then yes, it is possible that you could get these kind of symptoms. I would advise you to get in touch with a general surgeon who after a clinical assessement would go for some routine investigations and advise you for some kind of hernioplasty ( a surgery for the hernia) either by open method, or by the more frequent laparoscopic hernioplasty for a faster recovery.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
