[|Human|] Hi... I have a hernia right above my belly button.. it is not too big as of yet but it has definately grown over the past two years.  For about the past month, every time I eat, even small amounts, I feel very full above the hernia and just below where the ribcage comes together.  Also, I am constipated a lot of the time.  In other words, I am feeling pretty miserable.  Is this normal with an paraumbilical hernia or could it be something else?
[|AI|]  Hello, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Short Answer: Yes, umbilical hernia can cause your symptoms. Detailed answer: Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Inside the umbilical hernia there will be any abdominal contents. If it is intestine and if there is any obstruction to intestine because of these you will develop above symptoms. Inside the hernia intestinal loops may twist and get obstructed. It is better to consult your doctor. Get a USG done. It will help to know the condition of your hernia. Hope this helps. If you have any other query, feel free to ask. Chat Doctor.
