I am 33-year-old
female and have developed a hernia around my navel. Does this need to be fixed?
My GP does not recommend surgery.
Unfortunately, in
adults, this hernia needs to be fixed. Your GP is an imbecile. You never know
when the bowel may get trapped inside and cause bigger problems. Best advice,
see a surgeon and let him/her examine you. GPs have no knowledge about hernias.
Some surgeons recommend doing nothing for small hernias. However, I suggest you
get the hernia assessed first. The surgery to fix the hernia is
straightforward- unless you pick a complete moron of a surgeon.
