A member asked:
I believe i have a umbilical hernia. i dont have any pain, but i do feel a lump. is it safe? will it go away. do i have to get operated? what type of doctor do i have to see about it

Can't say: The description is too vague to answer the questions posed. This may/not be a hernia or just a growth of fatty tissue. Proper care if needed would require an exam. Your GP can decide whether or who you need to see about it.
