Hidden Hernia? Can scans be read if emailed?
Dr Towfigh I had another appt with my general dr and he did go to review both my ultrasound and CT scan with the radiologist with the intent to have the radiologist look specifically for hernias around the umbilical area. Both scans after reviewing came back with nothing found which I wasn’t surprised. Our next move is a MRI. What would your recommendation be on the MRI and how it should be done? After this test is done and reviewed if it comes back with the radiologist not finding anything I will be going to your online site and seeking you reading my MRI. I’m hoping it don’t come to this but I’m at the process of elimination here. Closest hernia specialist is looking like 8 hrs away. Thank you for your time and dedication to get this information out to Drs that don’t look at hernias in women because they can’t be seen or felt.

Hidden Hernia? Can scans be read if emailed?
Thank you for your reply and recommendation. I do have another appt on Monday with my dr and will be asking a few more questions. I am attaching one more picture to show where this other tenderness is to the left of my naval. My index finger is right over the area in question. The previous pics I sent where I was pointing down was not on the area it was trying to show the slight bump on the surface of my skin below where I was pointing. Sorry I was not more clear. Will a hernia in these umbilical areas get worse and more obvious so a dr will actually be able to see and believe it’s a hernia? Thanks again to all the Drs that take their time on this forum for people. Much appreciated.

Thank you Dr Towfigh for your reply. I live way up north in Marqutte Michigan ( Lake Superior). We have a pretty big hospital here. Marquette General now Duke Lifepoint. I would love to know if we have a hernia specialist in my town. I am attaching a few pictures of my naval and it’s very hard to get a good pic of the small raised area to the left of the naval. It is a little red from ice pack but you may be able to make it out. Like I said I’ve had both ultrasound and CT scan both “normal” but my fear is what you e noted before that if they are not looking specifically they may be missed. Could a pulled or torn muscle cause this tenderness and the naval change? Thank you once again.
