Hi, i know my Mom developed a small hernia from her TAH, surgery. Its very commong after surgery and scarring for some women to develope and umbilical hernia. I dont think it goes away so yes its something that needs to be removed if starts to bother you alot.
Hey there.....like it or not, if you have a hernia you should have it repaired. It is not a pleasant thought but the possible complications are even less pleasant. Talk with your doctor and then you two can make a decision regarding the urgency of repair. Hang in there kiddo....seems if it's not one thing it's another! Keep us posted.
Peace.

Could possibly be an Umbilical Hernia
Adults:
Umbilical or para-umbilical hernias are relatively common in adults. They are more common in overweight people and in women, especially after pregnancy. Most surgeons recommend they be surgically repaired, as they tend to get bigger over time.
Without surgical repair, there is a risk that some abdominal contents, typically a bit of fat or intestine, will get stuck (incarcerated) in the hernia defect and become impossible to push back in, which is typically painful. If the blood supply is compromised (strangulation), the patient requires urgent surgery.
Incarcerated abdominal tissue may cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension.
Any patient with a hernia that cannot be reduced, or pushed back in, while lying down and relaxed should seek urgent medical attention.
