I went to the doctor and they say they can't do nothing about it. When I lay down on my stomach it hurts. when I try to push it in it hurts. When I eat some time it hurts. What should I do about it

Answer: Get it fixed! I agree with Dr. Mosher, umbilical hernia repair is common and relatively simple to repair. Given the fact your pain worsens with eating, you may have a loop of intestine involved, which is a dangerous scenario. You need consultation with a general surgeon ASAP.

Answer: Umbilical hernias are quite amenable to repair. Small umbilical hernias are quite common and very amenable to repair. In most instances, a painful hernia would be managed and corrected by a General Surgeon. Often Plastic Surgeons repair these problems when then are encountered at the time of an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck). I would recommend that you ask your primary care physician for a General Surgeon referral.Good LuckDr. Mosher
