What Is The Treatment For Umbilical Hernia?
I have a belly button hernia and some dropsy form pulling a little heater up out of a suckion box. As an elderly lady - I get no rest. Is there something i can help hold my stomach up which would help keep the dropsy from hurting my creases in both legs?

Hi..
Umbilical hernia which gone into pain should be operated as this is indicative to have further complications of strangulation and need of an extensive surgery in the future.
The truss and all such devices can cause more complication than that caused by using these. So do not try trusses or so.
The dropsy too can be corrected by a surgery.
