A member asked:
How does the umbilicus hernia look on ultrasound examination?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ultrasound hernia: I would expect to see a small fascial defect within the abdominal wall musculature. The ultrasound should be able to demonstrate protrusion of fat or intestines through the defect with valsalva (bearing down). Ultrasound is rarely needed to diagnose a hernia but is probably the best test when the diagnosis is in question.
