What is the reason for a large navel in infants?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I feel unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could you please explain why a baby's navel is large?

Doctor's answer:

Hernia is a weak or torn area in the abdominal muscles of the human body, causing fat tissue or other organs such as the intestines to protrude outward through this location, forming a noticeable bulge under the skin, accompanied by discomfort and pain. Symptoms are more pronounced when standing for long periods, during urination or defecation, or when lifting heavy objects. There is no medication to treat hernia; the only option is surgical repair to fix the defect. Your condition may be caused by a calcium deficiency, so it is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also an excellent food for calcium supplementation. It not only provides calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all age groups. You can also make some bone broth to drink regularly.
