I have a hernia about two inches above my naval. An earlier umbilical hernia was repaired, but now this. It bulges out sometimes, and I wonder if food is going to be caught in my intestine at that location, and degrade, causing cancer or some other problem. Is there a solution short of surgery?
HI. There is no solution short of surgery, and you have already gone through one. Go ahead. There can not be a cancer development or anything you are thinking, but it is potential to have a chance of bowel entrapment.
