∙ 13y agoI've had a hernia since i was born, they call it an umbilical hernia . but i can tell that i still have it and it hasn't gone away (which sometimes can happen when your born with one) because i can see it through my stomach. its a knob right above my belly button, it pushes out about 1/2 an inch and i can push t back into my stomach and it'll disappear for maybe 30 min. at the most. but it always comes back and i can always feel it in there. they call it a "reducible hernia" ... that just means the size reduces when i push on it. it kinda feels like a balloon full of sand when i push it in. it hurts sometimes and it feels like my stomach is in knots in that spot too sometimes.. but its not fatal and it cannot hurt me seriously.

There are even more types, each with their own subtle variations. These can be viewed from the link. [source: adapted from First Aid, by Geddes and Grosset]
