Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query with attached picture to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues.
I also reviewed the query related to anxiety after sexual interaction few days ago.

My opinion-
Dear,in the given situation-You need not worry of reherniation.

Using mesh was not indicated then at that stage, due to small size of defect in umbilical hernia. And the surgeon never expected aggressive acts from you at that time.
Till now, mesh or no mesh, you should leave this to expert Surgeon's hand, whom you should Consult at least from 2-3 Surgeons to reassess and to avoid recurrence.


Do's Suggested-

Its not the re-surgery, but what type of surgery, which would matter in your case.
