Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Paraumbilical hernia is protrusion of abdominal contents through the anterior abdominal wall adjacent to the umbilicus due to a weakness in the wall causing it to stretch. This is a surgical condition and medicines do not help. A hernia is a sac like formation and has a neck. The neck requires to be closed and if it is big then a wire mesh can be used to repair the defect.

Please give him foods that are rich in natural fibers and which might prevent constipation. For constipation you might given him a glass of warm water early in the morning to make his have easy bowel movements. He has to regain the strength he has lost due to chemotherapy and get back to a fitness level which will permit the successful performance of paraumbilical hernia repair with a mesh placement if required. Please do not worry.
