Is that lump on your upper stomach an Epigastric Hernia?
Epigastric hernia may appear small in shape but it develops complications if left untreated. It occurs in the upper abdomen between the navel and the chest when fatty tissues push through a weak area in the abdominal wall. A person suffering from epigastric hernia is likely to feel discomfort or trapping between the chest and navel. While often mild to moderate in pain, it can become complex over time.

Who Needs Epigastric Hernia Treatment?
Not all hernias need immediate surgery, but medical checkup becomes necessary if you have significant pain between the chest and navel, increasing bulge size, discomfort on coughing or breathing, or frequent digestive issues after the bulge appears.
The major complication of ignoring an epigastric hernia is strangulation, where the blood supply to the tissue gets cut off. Do not wait if you notice these signs.
