Hello. My partner has was diagnosed with intussusception last year. He had an operation to fix that, then he got a small blockage in his small bowel,they fixed that. Then he had a abscess in his back 17.5 long x 4.5 wide, they fixed that. Now he has a small lump just below and off to the right of his belly button. He is getting a lot of pain when he coughs, sneezes or bends over.if he holds his stomach while coughing ect. there is no pain. He has been to 2 doctors for this,1st dr cut a little and said it was an ingrown hair or a stitch but she couldnt pull it out so she left it there.2nd dr said it was scar tissue and was not worried about it. My partner and I are worried because of his stomach problems he has had. He also was squatting down the other day and he coughed and he said his stomach was sitting just under his lump, he got really bad pain and he said it felt wet but when he felt the area, there was nothing there. Please help put our mind at ease.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  It appears to be the herniation, or adhesions due to repeated surgeries.  I advise him to consult a general surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a laparotomy, and correction.  First he should get treatment for developing the blood, and confidence.  Then he can proceed for surgery.  I advise him to take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
