Living with Umbilical Hernia
Typically the possibility of Umbilical hernia recurring post-surgery in both children and adults is very rare; however it is known to recur in some cases of adult Umbilical hernia. The prognosis for hernia is usually positive provided corrective action in terms of early diagnosis and surgery is taken before it turns into a strangulated hernia.
Some of the only possible complications for Umbilical hernia post-surgery may include bleeding, persistent pain or infection, but this is rare. In terms of follow up, the individual may simply be required to consult with the doctor and have a basic examination two weeks post-surgery.
