Common symptoms of an umbilical hernia include a bulge or lump near the belly button, especially when standing or straining, pain or discomfort at the site of the hernia, and swelling or tenderness around the belly button.
Umbilical hernias are typically diagnosed through a physical examination by a healthcare provider. Imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis or evaluate the extent of the hernia.
Treatment options for umbilical hernias include watchful waiting (for small, asymptomatic hernias), lifestyle modifications to reduce pressure in the abdomen, supportive garments such as trusses or belts, and surgical repair (herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty).
While umbilical hernia repair surgery is generally effective, there is a risk of hernia recurrence, especially if the underlying factors that contributed to the hernia are not addressed (such as obesity or heavy lifting).
