    Umbilical hernia question

    DS2003 – if it’s causing you problems, then fixing it sooner is probably warranted. If you’re planning to get pregnant, I typically recommend a mesh repair. I have done this several times with a variety of techniques and have had no problems during pregnancy or delivery regarding complications or recurrence. If you don’t use mesh, and you get pregnant, there will be an increased risk that the hernia will come back and you will require another operation to fix it. Hope this helps!
