Question : I believe I have a naval hernia. A circle about the size of a dime is protruding from my naval. If I push in, it feels like it recesses into a little whole behind it. ?Should I seek medical attention or hit the E.R. and if so how soon?

Dear Sir

Going by description it is umbilical hernia which is reducible. As it's reducible and there are no other symptoms of obstruction, it's not an emergency. You can see Surgeon on routine appointment.

In case you require any assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy Life

Take care
