For what length of time can i live with an umbilical hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on size: And symptoms. Warning signs of serious complications are pain, nausea, vomiting, hard lump, overlying skin changes. If you are 46 and otherwise healthy, chances of you needing surgery within your lifetime is pretty high. Get an opinion from a surgeon.
