What is treatment for an umbilical hernia? it wasnt painful at first but now it hurts with pain

If its painful: When you touch it then it's time to get it fixed. Pain upon touch and the fact it can't be reduced anymore means that is incarcerated and needs surgery. Please go to er. Good luck!

Surgery: An umbilical hernia requires surgical repair to close the defect. Pain associated with an umbilica hernia may indicate incarceration events. Recommend expedient evaluation by a general surgeon.
