5. Bulge Near the Belly Button
While you might think of hernias as something that only really affect older men, the reality is that they can affect anyone and in a large range of different ways.
For instance, you might notice that a young baby (6 months or less) has a bulge around their belly button. This is referred to as an umbilical hernia.
This is the only kind of hernia that goes away on its own, but it may take until the child is one year old. If at this point the bulge is still present, then a doctor might recommend surgery to treat it.
