A member asked:
My fianc has an umbilical hernia. it has gotten bigger and more red recently and now his breath has a fecal odor. i didn't know it could be connected?

Probably not: since incarceration of the bowel in umbilical herniae is uncommon and THE BIGGER THEY ARE the LESS the likelihood of a piece of bowel getting "caught" in the hernia causing OBSTRUCTION! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
