Suggest Treatment For Bump Above Belly Button

I have a little bump right above my belly button, sometimes hurts when I urinate but other then that don t feel a thing, kind of have to dig to feel it also! I m thinking it s a hernia for I had this for two years or so, I also have like 5 lipomas in my body, wondering what you think?

Hi
Welcome to hcm
Hernia goes on laying down and becomes prominant on standing and coughing. But to defferenciate it from lipoma you have to show it to your surgeon. Lipoma dont requires surgery always but hernia should be operated since there is always risk of conplecations like obstruction.
Regards.
