I have been so sick to my stomach and I literally have knot that moves when I press it in my stomach right below my belly button.  (Don even felt it also so it is not my imagination)

dyt it could be a hernia? or does that only happen w/ males? 

i am wondering if i should make an appt with a doctor or go in right away?

My niece has a belly button hernia so I am guessing it can happen with females also. (She is still pretty young though so IDK if it's the same thing.)

I would definitely get it checked out just to see what it is.

If it was just the knot, I would say Dr. appt, but with pain/ upset stomach, I would probably do an urgent care walk-in- maybe not full ER if you have that option, but if nothing else, go in for your own peace of mind.

It sounds like a hernia, and with the nausea, I would definitely be seen tonight! It could be a strangulated hernia, which is an emergency. Keep us posted!

I'm back from the doctor. He didn't feel anything unusual and said I was probably feeling muscle or an old scar (probably from my laparoscopies for my endometriosis).

Glad it was nothing serious!!

Whew, at least you can breathe a sigh of relief for now.  But if anything resurfaces and you don't feel right, get an 2nd opinion :)  I'm glad its nothing.

he just gave me some anti nausea medicine (phenegren sp?) but idt i am going to take it.  he also did a urine culture to see if i have a bladder infection because my back is tender, along with my lower belly. he said he would let me  know about the culture - ie if i needed any medicine for that.
