Why do babies have an everted navel?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Why is the baby's navel flapping outward?

Doctor's answer:

Your child's condition is a umbilical hernia, which is caused by weak tissue in the umbilical area. This type of condition can be treated conservatively, and it can be completely cured. I recommend using a one-yuan coin, wrapped in cotton, and then securing it with an elastic bandage at the umbilical area. This will help the umbilical hernia heal as quickly as possible.
It is also a symptom of a meibomian gland cyst, where the meibomian gland's opening is blocked, and the gland's secretions remain trapped within the tarsus. This chronic stimulation of the surrounding tissue causes idiopathic, non-bacterial, chronic granulomatous inflammation. Clinical diagnosis can be made based on the presence of painless eyelid hard nodules in the patient.
