i can't examine you to determine the extent of your umbilical hernia so surgery may only be cosmetic. it is really up to you to get it fixed butif it is a particular big and bulging one this may be an approach to consider. talk to a general surgeon -- someone who repairs these -- for patient-specific advice.
it's been 22 years should i get my umbilical hernia fixed? . i have gotten a ct scan done on my abdominal and pelvic area about a month ago and i was told that i have an umbilical hernia. my doctor doesn't want me to treat it because he doesn't think it has anything to do with my nausea. when i told my mom she said that i had an umbilical hernia since i was born. i've researched that after birth they usually go away in about 3 or 4 years on its own. should it be something i should worry about? should i get surgery to get it fixed?
