there are many different types of hernias including inguinal (located in the groin area) umbilical (belly button) incisional (after surgery) and hiatal (in the upper stomach) to name a few. if you suspect you have a hernia you'd be well-advised to seek medical attention. while some hernias like an umbilical hernia are generally benign (not serious or life-threatening) other hernias such as an inguinal hernia may require medical treatment. only your health care provider can tell you for sure if you have a hernia and if it requires any treatment. sorry i can't be more specific and i hope you get this checked out soon.
