General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi Sandy ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
To know whether you have a hernia or not needs a physical examination of your abdomen. Apart from this, I would like to suggest you for a thyroid function test, a CBC, a kidney function test and a blood sugar test as a routine. Further management would depend on the findings of both the physical examination and investigations.

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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
