It could be an umbilical hernia. Those usually happen in infants but adults have this especially if they gain weight or are obese. They may be sore from time to time but usually don't have many symptoms. Tell your doctor about it at your last physical as they can have complications of strangulation. This would be happening if it all of a sudden became very painful.

I have an umbilical hernia, it has not been repaired. I got it when my tummy had swollen up from some gastro problems, and when I got to coughing, my stomach muscles were stretched out and could not hold in the spasm, so that created the hernia. My belly button was painful for several days, and when I pushed on the swollen part, it hurt. Then general discomfort went on for, oh, two or three weeks.

I'm not a doctor or in the medical field. I just had my umbilical hernia surgery 2.5 weeks ago with mesh. If you have the surgery without mesh you could have another hernia as your putting strain down below and it could come through another weak point. It also can get bigger and quite ugly. It is your intestines that you are pushing and squishing back into your body. It's amazing how much we use stomach. Anything you do while working out, you will use your stomach muscles.

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..

Most hernias in puppies are umbilical hernias that appear as a little bubble where the umbililcal cord was attached, and they are caused at birth by the mother chewing the cord off too vigorously and too short. The chewing and pulling on the umbilical cord causes a tear in the wall and the hernia is formed. In most cases of umbilical hernias, unless they are so large that they are a threat to the dog's health in the way of the intestines slipping through them, they are left alone.

It is probably an Umbilical Hernia. You probably have had the weakening in that area since birth and the added pressure from being pregnant has caused it to bulge outward/herniate- is where the intestines push out through a small tear in the lining. Nothing will be done during pregnancy or possibly if ever as long as you don't start having problems, such as pain or strangulated intestines. with it.

We are getting him every weekend, but he has an umbilical hernia. Do these hurt the baby? It is fairly big. My first thought is that it looked like another penis(enlarged) coming out of his belly button. I just want to make sure when he has tummy time, that this will not be painful for him. and if anyone has had a baby with this, do they go away, ,or will it require surgery. Thanks.

I have a small umbilical hernia. There is no pain, but when run my hand across by stomach above my belly button, it sticks out. My doctor wants to "keep an eye on it" and check it again in 3 months. Can I continue with weight training, swimming, running, and bicycle riding? The doctor seemed extremely vague about what training I could continue. Is there anything I can do to keep from having surgery?
