Umbilical Hernia: Bulging Around Belly Button

An umbilical hernia forms when tissue pushes through a weakness near the
belly button. Sign’s Include:

• Noticeable bulge near the navel
• Pain around the belly button when coughing or straining
• Swelling that increases with activity
• Tenderness around the protrusion

While umbilical hernias in infants often close naturally, adult umbilical hernias require surgical repair.

Inguinal Hernia: Occur Near the Groin
Inguinal hernia occur in the groin and are often caused by increased pressure or weak spot in the abdomen and strenuous physical activity.

Hernias never heal on their own - the only effective treatment is surgical repair.
New Jersey Bariatric Center® offers minimally invasive treatments that provide faster recovery times and reduced pain.

Patients experience:

• Quicker return to normal activities
• Less post-operative pain
• Shorter hospital stays (typically outpatient)
• Potential reduction of anti-reflux medications

Certain symptoms indicate serious complications requiring emergency treatment:

• Severe, continuous pain
• Redness or tenderness at the hernia site

• Inability to push the hernia back in
• Constipation or inability to pass gas

These may indicate a strangulated hernia, which can become life-threatening if not treated promptly.
