General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!
From history, it seems to be an umbilical hernia.
In my clinic, I look for impulse in swelling on coughing & palpate the defect beneath the swelling if any, to confirm the diagnosis.
An ultrasound is advisable.
If confirmed that it is hernia, after routine investigations & fitness, surgery is done.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Thanks. Regards.
