A member asked:
I was diagnosed with umbilical hernia 5 years back. i never went to repair it so i do have pains sometimes but i bare it . my question is can get my belly pierced eventhough i didn't repair the umbilical hernia?

Because the skin surrounding the umbilical hernia may be thinned out I would be reluctant to have the piercings. An abdominal surgeon can evaluate you and advise you best,however.
