General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms are typical of umbilical hernia. The part of bowel or omentum might get trapped at the hernial ring and causing pain. Surgery is the treatment of choice and weight reduction is required to prevent recurrence in the future and to avoid complications. You can opt for laparoscopic surgery as it has got better results and less complications.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
