MRI Renal ResultsAbdominal Wall: Umbilical defect approximately 9mm TRVCan someone explain this to me? Is this a hernia, if so how is this possible?Also originally I received the mri for a renal mass that was first discovered in 2017 of 3.6 cm and on my recent MRI exam is now 1.1 cm? Does this mean it could still be cancerous or most likely benign?

Tiny (presumably fat-containing) umbilical hernia which is so common that half the time we don't mention it.Can't conclude anything about the renal lesion without the full description. If it's one complete thing that has decreased in size, then yes it's benign. If there was a 3.6 cm cystic lesion that has gotten smaller but now has suspicious features, that's a different story.

In conservative Muslim countries, it's not uncommon for doctors to share information about adult children with their parents. It would not be safe to send this type of note/email and risk it being shared with the parents.Read more here. (Excerpt from "Factors influencing sexual and reproductive health of Muslim women: a systematic review" below)" Unmarried women seemed to be concerned with healthcare providers informing family members about their visits and expressed worries regarding providers sharing information discussed during consultations. For some single women, family members often accompanied them during health visits, making it impossible for them to discuss any issues privately.A study in Egypt revealed that although patient records were stored securely in filing cabinets in the family planning clinics, a number of healthcare providers stated that they allowed family members to view womens health records. In addition to providers lack of respect for confidentiality, another contributing factor is that in the Egyptian family health model, womens medical records are a part of the combined family health records and could be easily accessed by any family member "
