Does An Abdominal Hernia Cause A Knot In The Stomach And Stomach Ache?
I think I have an abdominal hernia, I have a knot slightly protruding from my stomach. I have a lot of stomach issues, sometimes after I eat, my stomach hurts or I have nausea, or both. Sometimes this doesn't happen til after a bowel movement. Is this related to the hernia? I'm 60 yrs old

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hernia can cause abdominal pain. Do a CT scan to look for any obstruction in the bowel. It is better to correct the hernia by surgery to avoid unwanted complications. Consult a general surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing you good health
