my husband has something that is popping out of his abdomen just below his left ribcage, he has had an umbilical hernia mesh surgery and I suspect it may be a tear in the mesh... however he also has high blood pressure and we are afraid of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Hello and. As a Urologist, i can understand your concern. Umbilical hernia surgery is done only around the umbilicus. A swelling popping out below left rib cage, can't be related to that surgery. A tear in the umbilical mesh, if wide, can cause a swelling in that area only. High blood pressure is not related to hernia repair either. An abdominal aneurysm is easily detected on an ultrasound scan. If you've any other doubts, you can send it as a direct question to me. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
