[|Human|] Hi Doctor              After eating i am finding a hard lump above my belly button which causes severe pain at times.I had a stomach hernia op just below this area around 2 yrs ago.Is it possible that this is related in any way.Pain is sharp and can last for a while causing dizziness and feeling faint?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Yes it is possible, that it is related to the hernia post-operative. 2. During the operation there is a mesh placed, when there is inflammation / infection to the site, similar symptoms are seen.3. When bowel / momentum get strangulated there will be similar pains. 4. If you are my patient I would have examined and ask for ultrasound abdomen to see if there is any defect (hernia), presence of any inflammatory / infective changes, at the same time if any other causes.5. Mostly the treatment of the choice is operative. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
