A member asked:

I have stomach pains, belching and diarrhea. could my imbilical hernia cause these symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: If the hernia is firm and painful, itchy be the cause. If this is so, you need to see a doctor asap. If this is not the case, the two are probably unrelated. Your primary care provider should be able to tell one way or another.
