Hello,my question is about my daddy who is 63yrs old diagnosed of periumbilical hernia today who has also had 2paints of blood in the last 15days due to severe anaemia, also having serious nausea and vomitting for more than two months now,please can this medical condition be responsible for the above S/S.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding your dad, but there is no co relation between periumbilical hernia and anemia. Other causes of anemia have to be ruled out in this case, liver pathology should be screened for. Nausea and vomiting are symptoms of gastrointestinal distress which can occur in periumbilical hernia. I suggest you discuss with his treating doctors, the causes of severe anemia in his case and complications of hernia. Thanks.
