A member asked:
Does tiny fat containing an umbilical hernia need to be fixed? not in pain nor can see anything. was picked up on my abdominal ct scan when i went thru an appendectomy?

If you don't ever have related symptoms and the defect is small, I wouldn't worry about it. If your daily activities involve lifting heavy materials that would put stress on your abdomen and potentially make the hernia expand, I might consider it.
