Answer 2

I'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.
