Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern regarding your dad, but there is no co relation between periumbilical hernia and anemia.
Other causes of anemia have to be ruled out in this case, liver pathology should be screened for.
Nausea and vomiting are symptoms of gastrointestinal distress which can occur in periumbilical hernia.
I suggest you discuss with his treating doctors, the causes of severe anemia in his case and complications of hernia.
Thanks.
