My husband is in his 50's, has an umbilical hernia(quite large), has put on several lbs. in the last 2- 3 months. now bleeding from naval. ? serious

Possibly: the weight gain may have thinned the skin and allowed it to become irritated more easily as well as put more pressure on it from the hernia. Need to see a surgeon now for evaluation and to prevent infection or involvement of the hernia itself.
