Hernia Vs. Vascular Malformation Posted: 11-07-05 13:21pm
My son is 7 months old. I took him to the
doctors for what I thought was a hernia,
although this hernia was above his naval
and it is blueish, like a bruise. The
doctor's diagnosis was ventral hernia vs.
A vascular malformation. It looks like a
hernia and is not always visible, but it
is blueish like a bruise. My son does
have problems with constipation.
Can a hernia be blueish?
Has anyone heard of this? It is 1.5cm in
size.
He does have an appointment with a
pediatric surgeon although it is not for 6
weeks.
Any advice for a worried mother?

I wouldn't know anything about that but a
quite useful forum is

the doctor answers questions himself and
usually really quickly too, he might be
able to give you an answer.
I hope your son will be well soon.
