You need: to go to Emergency Dept immediately, Sounds like you have incarcerated your hernia, and contents might be strangulated. It might require emergency surgical repair.

Surgical repair : First, you need to confirm the diagnosis of a hernia. Best done by your primary care provider. If you already know for sure that its a hernia, get a consultation with a general surgeon. If you think this is an urgent problem, you may have o go to an urgent care center or emergency room. Hope this helps!

Umbilical hernia: If you are having that kind of pain from an umbilical hernia, you most likely need to have it surgically repaired. Here is nothing else that will cure you of this problem. You can wear an abdominal binder to help keep the bulge in as a temporary measure, but ultimately surgery is the answer.
