Could it be a hernia?

Hi,

When I was 8 I had a hernia and had an operation. After giving birth 18 months ago my belly button hasn’t gone in. I went to the doctors other day due to bowel problems and he felt a lump in my stomach that is quite big and moved but has a very fast pulse. He didn’t mention a hernia he said he didn’t know. I do sometimes get a bruised feeling but not often it’s on the left side and is actually next to belly button.

Could this be a hernia?

    Sorry I forgot to say you can’t see when I lie down can just feel a lump there that moves and pulsates.

    Hi k1689...i'd suggest you see a specialist for proper examination and diagnosis.

    Diagnosis is the 1st step to recovery.

    Good luck and I pray we all get better FAAAST.

    Take care.

    Hi,

    An Ultrasound should be able to determine if you have a hernia.

    Best to see what the Ultrasound results show  in conjunction with a Drs consult.
