I've noticed a little pea-sized lump between my chest area and it sometimes comes with chest pain. I did some research online and think it might be the xiphoid process. I'm really concerned and wondering what's the best way to get it checked out. Also, if I need to have it removed, do you know what that kind of surgery might cost?

View allI've had a popped out navel about one inch wide for the last 5 years but the past 6 months it's been painful. For the last two weeks, I can only eat small amounts of food if I eat more, the pain around my navel gets worse and I feel like vomiting. Is this something that needs surgery right away or can I wait until next year? Also, how much would the surgery cost?
Given the pain, inability to eat, vomiting, and the fact that the hernia is no longer reducible, urgent surgery is recommended to prevent complications like strangulation of the intestine. Waiting could lead to severe consequences, including the need for emergency surgery, which is often more expensive and risky. Surgery cost can vary widely depending on several factors, so it's best to discuss this with your doctor and the surgical team
