A member asked:

Umbilical hernia naval is super sore should i go to the hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: You will have to use your judgment. First, try to lay down, relax your abdomen, and push it back through the abdominal wall. If this works, and the pain goes away, see your doctor during the week. If it doesn't work, or you push it in and there is still pain, head to the er to check it out.
