So just wondering if there is anyone on the forums with an umbilical hernia or is it just me.
I used to have a belly button which was like a bottomless pit (or the black hole of calcutta) but a few years back I developed an umbilical hernia. Anyhow over the past few days it looks like I have an infection, either in the belly button or as part of the umbilical hernia. Plan seeing the Doctor tomorrow, to be honest I’m kinda hoping that the Doctor will recommend surgery (after infection clears) to repair the hernia, I’m tired of looking at it and I know my wife is sick of the sight of it.
It is quiet "angry" looking the past few days, but as it was my wife’s birthday (and holiday season) when this happened I did not want to make anything of it.
My concern right now is twofold (a) I travel to the USA next week and worried that cabin pressurization could cause a problem (b) if I have repair surgery, I’m worried surgeon will want a general anaesthesia – the last two surgeruies with general anaesthesia lead me to having PVC (preventricular contractions) and being cyanotic, both being fairly risky.
Has anyone here had an Umbilical hernia and a repair?
