Suggest Treatment For Hernia Near Navel, Heartburn And Difficulty In Defecation

I have a hernia near my belly button. I ve only had it a couple of weeks. I m getting heartburn, struggling to go to the toilet without the aid of constipation relief and I have pins and needles in my stomach. I have an appointment with a surgeon on 11th august for a consultation. Do I need to go sooner? I feel a bit sick too. Thankyou.

Hello,

Yes, you need to go now as your symptoms could suggest that you have bowel stuck in your hernia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
