I am 10 months post takedown and a skinny 23 old. I have some strain/pain around my closure site. However it doesn’t look like a hernia, the only time that area bulges out is if I lean back and push out my stomach. Pain is worse after exercise. How would one tell if its a hernia, scar tissue or something else?
If it bulges out when the pressure inside increases, for example when doing push-ups or lifting the legs when lying stretched out on the back, then it is likely to be a hernia. A doctor should have a look at it.
Mine said that my hernia along way of my center scar is big enough so it won't trouble me. It just looks weird on such occasions when it bulges out. I don't want another surgery with artificial tissue being inserted as long as I don't have problems. But smaller hernia are more dangerous when something gets stuck there I was told.
