My report shows a well-defined 20 mm anterior wall defect in the supra umbilical region with herniation of bowel loops. I've had fever and stomach discomfort for a few days is this dangerous? Should I consider surgery and how safe is it?

A supraumbilical hernia with bowel herniation and symptoms like fever and discomfort can be serious and may require surgery. It's important to consult with a doctor immediately for evaluation and treatment. Surgery is generally recommended to reduce the risk of complications like strangulation, which can be life-threatening
