Umbilical hernia??? Thoughts

ad

So the top pic is the most recent. I noticed over the last fee weeks my belly button is statmrtung to protrude. I didn't think anything if it. I thought maybe because I was getting leaner in the lower abdomen. My sister noticed and brought it to my attention that it looked like a hernia.
The bottom pics are past/older pics throughout my journey to compare to...

Looking into it, I suppose it might be.
I dont have insurance at the moment, nor the $$. so I was wondering if anyone here has ever experienced this or have any feedback.

Is this something that needs immediate attention or would a brace/belt suffice for the time being?

I'm a little scared to put in a intense/heavy session in the gym.

Any feedback or info will help.
Yes, I know I need to get insurance... So we can skip those comments:-)

Thanks everyone!!!

Like said below go to a doctor get it fixed asap then go back to training I wouldn't train at all if it was me. Better to put yoir self in debt to save your life then to be dead. Infections can cause a blood disease that can kill you if not treated or it can rupture and cost more in the long run it might be early enough to be a easy fix could end up being a pill you take to get rid of it

I wouldn't worry about it. You've probably had it since birth. I would get that shyt stitched up as soon as you get insurance. If you can find a policy with 0 deductible, get that for 90 days, and soon as it kicks in, get it fixed, and if it's too expensive switch to a lower tiered policy with a higher deductible

Yup. I've had the same thing for a very very long time. I will get to it one of these years

No pain.. In fact I didn't even know until it was pointed out.
Thanks for the feedback!!

Quick and easy answer...go see a doctor...

With that stated, I have an umbilical hernia. It is one of the most common hernias...if it doesn't bother you, and isn't getting worse - monitor it. I've been riding mine out for almost 5 yrs. Or go to doc and get procedure done...it's quick and fast recovery (4-6 weeks).

Thank you.. No pain. It goes back in when I'm relaxed. I'm hoping I can put it on the back burner for a couple months until I get things in order.
