Uugh!! Yes ,sounds like a definite hernia, my Dad has had 3 and 3 surgeries to correct them and my brother has one now. Your husband needs to see a doctor asap any straining or lifting heavy objects and you will see how possible it is for something to stick out. A hernia is a tear in the lining and what you fell prutruding out is actually the intestine. If it gets bad enough he will have a large bulge and his intestines can actually be pinched from just sitting causing a lack of blood and oxygen to get to the intestine and that portion of it could die off and cause a very serious and life threatening infection. I don't mean to scare you to death, but a hernia needs to be seen by a doctor. it can be serious or he can live with it until it starts to bother him, but the doctor needs to make sure this hernia is okay for now. Take a look at the links below, it explains symptoms,different type hernias and anything you would needto know. Good Luck!! Hope he doesn't need surgery. Take care and don't let him lift heavy stuff or strain himself.

sounds like a hernia, they NEVER heal themselves. The only way to fix it is with surgery. It needs to be seen by a MD, the danger is if the intestine gets caught and twists in can become infarcted. Which is a fancy way of saying that the blood flow is cut off, this will cause the intestine to die - and that will cause him to become VERY ill very fast, and require emergency surgery which is never a good idea. Please have a MD evaluate him ASAP. A planned surgery will give you time to know the doctor that will do it, and make arrangements for him to be out of work for 3-5 weeks for recovery.

I have been given harm in guidance interior the army- so this is truthfully the comparable. he will have the surgical operation, then visit a rehab unit. the guidelines there selection by utilizing submit. I regularly had my cellular telephone, we've been allowed DVD gamers and Saturday's we've been given pass to the submit PX- so he might get to touch you extra regularly. yet each so often, this is the comparable rules as guidance- no telephones different than some hours a week, etc. he would be interior the rehab unit until eventually he's carefully healed. in accordance along with his analysis from there, they might return him to guidance or discharge him. it fairly is possible he might properly be get some leave to come again homestead- like 30 days, yet i does not anticipate it. interior the rehab unit, he will do PT in accordance along with his potential. We did alot of swimming and water guidance. We went to the gymnasium or actual scientific care (in accordance with the place we've been interior the restoration tiers) as quickly as Monday,Wednesday, Friday, and two times on Tuesdays and Thursdays. while he's carefully healed, they'll return him to the guidance unit this is closest to the place he left off pre-harm. likely, he will return to a unit with approximately 3 weeks left of instructing. in the event that they discharge him, he won't have the potential to reenter any militia branch for no less than a year, doubtlessly 2.

It sounds like a umbilical hernia.
Not all hernias hurt. they usually hurt if they are being squashed or twisting.
He needs to see your Doctor to get him to examine him. And fairly soon.
