I noticed the other day a lump at the top of my belly button. It caught me off guard because normally I have a very flat belly button - it almost felt like I had an outie belly button on the top. It does not hurt but when I push on it, the lump goes in but on the bottom of my navel another lump comes out! Its kind of strange feeling.
Hubby thinks I might have an Umbilical Hernia. Has anyone had this and what do they do for it? I am hoping that surgery is not the only repair for it!
Any info would be great
Thanks
Amie
