Lump by belly button after c section

I just noticed a small lump behind my belly button. My last section was a while ago. Did anyone experience this? Thanks

Re: Lump by belly button after c section

I have that. Mine is a hernia along with diastasis recti



It's awesome

Re: Lump by belly button after c section

i'd see a doctor that could be a hernia. hernias can be fixed and covered by insurance.

at least u dont have diastasis recti (ab separation) its the worst! chronic pain!!!!!

Re: Lump by belly button after c section

That's surely a hernia. I have one too, I can feel it when I stick my finger in my belly button. I am not sure if I have diastisis recti (think I do), but the hernia was confirmed when I had an abdominal ultrasound.

Thanks! Did you need a procedure to correct it? Or does is remain permanently? Thanks!

Re: Lump by belly button after c section

i have one too. i am 4 months post partum now and it's not as noticeable but i'm 99% sure it is still there.

Re: Lump by belly button after c section

Probably a hernia but maybe just scar tissue. I'm not sure if scar tissue develops in that area from a C-section but I had that from uterine fibroid surgery even before my c-section and that surgery had the same incision as a C-section.
