Epigastric hernia - should i travel to asia with this?

Maybe: Depends on how long it has been there, how much it bothers you, how long you will be gone, and whether or not you will be in a location with access to health care. If it been there a long time, and doesn't bother you, then it is probably very low risk to cause a problem. Less time, more symptoms, higher probability of a problem. Hope this helps, and have a nice trip!
