hernia surgery recovery belly button

I had surgery 6-5-08, sent down for ultrasound couple days after because rgt breast so swollen w/ large lump, checked out ok w/ scan, sent home day or so later, went for post-op wk later was told that the 2 holes I have underneath rgt breast that continuously drain will heal. I have continuous drainage from belly button too. Dr. told me to clean more often w/ (peroxide?

well from what the doctors saying they say i do have hernia and a hole in my belly button somewhere in there after the surgery also i may have a cyst that i'll be getting an ultasound to check to see if it needs removal sooo i belive god will bring me through the surgery and I will have strength to recover in jesus name amen So now i gotta get ultrasound.

( will the hernia not grow bigger while pregnant or is there a medication to cure it?

Ugh man I don't know what to do because when it does hurt I can't even touch that part of my belly. So putting something over it will really kill me. I have a maternity belt but like I said I hardly can let shower water hit my stomach because of the pain. And wow only 32 weeks. Mine didn't start bothering me till 35 weeks. But we will get through it.

My son is now 6 weeks old and ever since he was 4 weeks old, his belly button came out. What can help it go back in. Every time I see it, I feel like crying. My poor baby. I feel as is he's suffering so does hubby think the same. What can I do for it to go back to place???

Abnormalities are detected on a CT whether the physician was looking for them or not; any abnormality can show up. The CT was ordered of the abdomen/kidneys, not just of the kidneys. I had a CT of the abdomen about 2 years ago b/c of abdominal pain. A small umbilicus hernia was noted (small hernia involving the "belly button") I was surprised I had one and that is not what my physician was looking for.

I had breast cancer in 1997, started w/ bilateral masectomy/saline implants, implant would get a leak or always something, so I got a ref. to a new plastic surgeon as well and he suggested tram.

It is possible it will go down or be less noticeable after you deliver, yet will always be there. If it gets worse surgery will be the treatment. I scheduled my hernia surgery just this morning for the end of NOV. YIPPY LOL Hope This Helps.

i agree with the doc, as i recently had surgery for a belly button hernia... not a big deal. it was very tiny but i felt it as if it was huge.

My husband just now poked me in my belly button .. He knows not to do that because I have an umbilical hernia .. It hurt so bad I punched him , it sends shocks through my body.. It's a terrible feeling ... I'm sorry you are going through the pain of a hernia.. Thankfully mine only hurts when I touch it ..not constantly... Was there anything you could take for the pain besides Tylenol?

The Dr.diagnosed it as umbrical hernia with seperated stomach muscels.I will have surgery 01/08 for the hernia repair and abdominoplasty(tummy tuck).For finance help try carecredit,many doctors will accept this program.

I had TAH/BSO for Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Stage 1A on April 2 - I am 7 weeks post op and when I was released by the visiting nursing group (my incision came open when they removed the staples - so the visiting nurses were coming to evaluate the wound and dressings) anyway the RN who released me checked me over pretty good and I was asked if I had noticed the golf ball size lump above my belly button.

I had a cyst removed from an ovary a few years ago thru my belly button. It was a total of 3 incisions n went back to exercise in 6 weeks n got a small hernia in my belly button. It still hasn't closed but since it's small doc thought I should just leave it alone. Now with this pregnancy it's gotten bigger but they can't do anything until after delivery.

Hi ladies! Im 11w and my question is the doctors found a small hernia above my belly button about a year and a half ago and they saw no need to go into surgery for it but now that im pregnant do u think this hernia is going to cause issues at all??? Or does anyone else have a similar issue? Thanks ladies!!!!

m sorry to say that I had very little pain after my surgery. Another thing that might help with the belly button pain is instead of laying straight back or sitting straight up, lay on your side and push yourself up with your arm and vice versa when laying down. Hope you feel better!!

erupted and now the area around the belly button is like a hard ring and tender. There is also a pinkish red ring around the belly button as well. No discharges just tender and uncomfortable. Any ideas what to do or happened?

The doctor said my next check-up would be June. I am having intermittent sharp burning pain above my belly button, I can feel something hard there. I told dr in March that area was tender and it was swelled. He did not really say anything, so I figured it had to do with incision. To me the swelling is still there, is this something anyone else has experienced, could this be a Hernia? The last couple of days it has begun to hurt a little more.

I recently had lapriscopic surgery. I now have a lump inside my belly button. It's hard, turning purple, and hurts. Could this be a hernia? Here is a picture of it?

t shock me because I had a really odd shaped belly button before lol but at my last appointment my doctor mentioned something about a hernia in my belly button ?? At least im pretty sure thats what he said. Does that sound normal ?

Hello sir, Sorry for my English, I have been diagnosed with "early hernia" at the left side of the triangle area below my belly button, it's not a "real hernia" (I think), I mean no organs went out yet, but looks like the area is so weak that the left side is a bit higher than right side (of the triangle), I'm a male, 27, used to do about 20-30 minutes of ab workouts 3 days/week for the last 4 or 5 months, maybe I did something wrong coz I can't remember I never

I'm 37+6 weeks and my belly button hasn't popped out. I also had surgery on my belly button at ten years old because of a hernia. So I kinda guessed it didn't pop out because of that.

The area of concern was swollen and extremely sore, it is now pain free but a solid lump around the size of a £1 located above and to the left of belly button. Thoughts are that it could be a hernia or healing muscle tear, any help would be appreciated.

Now i have developed a crazy burn like rash inside and around my belly button. It started out as just some small bumps, then a old scar started bubbling up getting red and burning at my belly button. Now its inside it and about 3inches all the way around giving me severe pain. Kinda feels like having a third degree burn. My doctor is no help an thinks im crazy. please help am i being paranoid?

I have pain in my belly button. Not sure what is causing it but I think it's a belly button hernia. I had a small hernia b4 pregnancy like 2 years b4 but was getting smaller not with pregnancy it feels like it's getting bigger again. I just haven't mentioned it to my doc cuz I ready doc won't do anything until after delivery.
