A member asked:
After i had my son in 2008, my upper abdominal area is hard and round. the lower area is soft . do you think i may have an hernia?

Probably not: You probably have a diastasis or thinning of the muscle in the area. This is cosmetic in appearence only n.

Maybe: A long sausage appearing bulge in the middle between the belly button and breast bone seen only while doing a sit up is a thinning of the connector between the muscles, and not a hernia. A bulge that you can feel along this area or at the belly button is likely to be a hernia. See your doctor for an exam to find out.
