How Can An Umbilical Hernia Be Treated?
I have small (about the width of two fingers) umbilical hernia that is reducible. I have no pain and seem to be passing stool and urine fine. I know the need to get repaired and am in the process of figuring that out. However I do feel an sensation of fluid coming out of the area where the hernia is. I do touch the spot a lot to make sure the hernia is not pushing out. I assume this can be a sensation of blood rushing to one area? Should i be alarmed if I have no other symptons?

Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the bowel or fatty tissue pokes through an area near the belly button.
Surgery is usually recommended in adults.It is a small, quick operation.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
