Dear Ask The Doctor: I had a Hernia operation about Two years ago , which the Doctor went through my bellybutton and now it has got to the point where it's lumping up .Is this something that I need to be concerned with? And need to get checked out by a Doctor.
Dear Robert: Your description suggests that you have developed an incisional hernia at your belly button (umbilicus). An incisional hernia is the name used to describe hernias which occur at the site of previous surgical incisions. As with all other types of hernias, surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Your doctor will be able to confirm this diagnosis and refer you for appropriate management. |
