General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Yes this is a hernia. Due to surgery there has been some hole created in the tissues of abdominal wall so the fatty tissue and maybe an intestine can get out from the abdominal cavity.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon. In case of doubts an ultrasound can be done.
To fix it surgery will be necessary.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
