Suggest Treatment For Stomach Hernia
I have a stomach hernia, when I lay down at night on my side it protrudes out. It is about 10 inches long and 4 inches wide. I had it checked by my doctor and he said it was no problem in fact it is common. My father passed away last years at age 82 with a stomach aneurysm. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
It may be due to stomach hernia.
For further assessment you may require ultrasound abdomen after surgeon consultation.
You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.
Till then you can use abdominal belt locally.
Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
