Having An Umbilical Hernia Due To Twin Pregnancy. How To Stop Uncontrollable Attacks With Pain And Vomitings?

I have been living with an umbilical hernia for almost four years due to my twin pregnancy. almost weekly I have attacks where it feels like my insides are being twisted and have uncontrollable vomiting. The pain is horrible. The hospital just tells me it's not strangulated and sends me home. is there anything I can take to prevent these attacks? I can't live like this.

Hi,

Since you are getting severe pain with umbilical hernia, this may be due to problem in hernia. You should get operated for this to relieve from pain. So better to consult your general surgeon once for examination and further management. You need to get investigated using ultrasound scanning once to know the status of hernia.
