    Hidden hernia, undiagnosed, very frustrated

    Hi Dr. Towfigh,

    I do not have a picture of it, on film, or otherwise. It is located above the belly button, to the right, between two scars from gall bladder removal. I cannot make it bulge out enough to see, or take a picture to produce what you might be asking. The bulging, or popping out occurs under layer of fat/muscle (?) intermittently, and I’ve always pushed it back in when this has occurred. Last week was the first time it took more than a minute to knead back into place.
