HelloThanks for query. You have umbilical Hernia which got obstructed once. It is likely to get obstructed again whenever intro abdominal pressure gets increases while lifting heavy objects, coughing, straining to pass stools or urine etc. It is always advisable to get operated and to close the defect in Line Alba. Till then avoid any activity that will increase intro abdominal pressure. Chat Doctor.
