A corset then! You do need something to keep that injury protected.

You are quite right, Pat. It would be far better if the thing was
kept confined into where it should be, how can I get a corset these
days though?

I remember when someone I knew had a similar hernia. Her guts kept
popping out through her navel. When it happened, it would take her
45 minutes or more to stuff it back in - a painful, and, I imagine,
rather gross process.

And isn't that unsanitary? You're touching your internal organs with
hands that probably have bacteria on them, that ordinarily wouldn't
go directly into the body via that entry point. There's a reason we
have skin to cover our organs! And you probably don't "scrub" the way
a surgeon does, every time you have to poke at the protruding organ.

I sure hope you find a doctor to take care of it soon!
