Do I have a hernia?

[art84]

So yesterday I woke up to use the restroom and later on the morning, felt a pain in my stomach on the left side. I notice a bump or bulge near my belly bottom area. If I press on my stomach it hurts a little. I been burping a lot and my stomach feels bloated after I eat anything. I just had a taco and coffee for breakfast and lunch tacos as well I have an appointment for Tuesday so hopefully my doctor can see my stomach. It doesn't look like a cyst but a noodle.

Yes, I do think that is a hernia, and you need to get it checked out by a doctor.

Is it getting worse? Because it may be strangulated then. They would need to do surgery soon then. If it's just some fat sticking through that's not so bad but if it's part of your intestines that can choke off the blood supply and kill it.

It hurt on Friday like a sharp pain. Doesn't hurt now but seeing my doctor tomorrow afternoon just to make sure what it is.

Kind of sounds like it. I've had one for over a year now.

That sucks

Not really, you get used to it. It doesn't prevent me from doing much. As long as it doesn't worsen or become strangulated it's fine. Ironically the smaller they are the more likely they are to become strangulated.

Mine is small and hurts like a 7/10.
