Umbilical Hernia! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

autumn star · 01-29-2008, 10:43 AM

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

See the Dr. Usually babies get that becuase their umbilical cord hasn't healed properly from the inside. Never heard of it in adults. You may have some sort of hernia though.

I made an apt for friday morning. I looked it up on line and yes adults do get it.

Oh wonderful.........I hope there is another answer. I wonder what the recoop time is. I am not one of those people that can sit around EVER! My hubby is always saying that he is still waiting for my batteries to run out and for me to sit!

i'm pretty sure they do it laproscopically... i had that done last summer for my galbladder... sothere were 4 incisions.. but i know my uncle only took like 4-5 days off work... i guess it depends on how fast you bounce back... i can't take Tylenol 3... so my recoup took about 2 weeks because i wasn't on the "good" drugs

that can take away ALL the pain.. i'm pretty sure all goes well it is day surgery!

I have to tell you I had my tubal by lap and I hadn't expected it to hurt so bad. My OB/GYN said I needed a few days off while my behind had only scheduled one. Let me tell you that bad boy was hurting for a good week or so. Small holes but big pain. Ick. If I knew it was going to be that bad I would have had hubby get the snip.

My son had that also - Not as an infant though - it was a quick surgery - no big scar - just looks like his belly button is a smily face lol - Good luck - Hope it's nothing -

My 9 yr old was born with one they kept saying when he gets bigger it will go away,it never did,He ended up having surgeryand fixed it.He was starting to have bad stomache aches before the surgery,playing ball running jumping etc all botherd him.Now he has no problems.

I had it BUT mine looked more like as if I had a marble stuck in my belly button..

I've had it since birth... Just last year I had it removed..

The Dr. told me that if I wouldn't have it removed.. it could grow to be a little bigger than one of those BIG grapes.. OR ever worse.. It MAY burst if I ever got pregnant.

And I know the ones that just "pop up" usually can get VERY painful..

So PLEASE go to the DR. ASAP
