A member asked:

Hi i am a 25 year old male and i am having pain from my bellybutton and down to my pelvic area. i am suspecting it's a hernia but am not sure. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Look for a bulge: If there is a bulge at the belly button that is larger when standing and bearing down, it may very well be a hernia. May be worth a visit to the primary care doctor for an exam. Urgency of appoint depends on duration and severity of symptoms. Hope this helps!
