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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI have a 5mm umbilical hernia and I'm not sure how serious it is do I need surgery for something this small? Can I still do light abdominal exercises or lift my 15-month-old baby without making it worse? Is there any chance it might heal on its own with exercise?

What's the best treatment for fistula and can it be treated without surgery I'm really worried and looking for the most effective options
The most effective treatment for a fistula is often surgical, but non-surgical options are sometimes available, especially for certain types of fistulas. For anal fistulas, surgical options like fistulotomy, LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract), and flap procedures are common, while non-surgical options include fibrin glue injection, seton placement, and fistula plugs
