Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask why the umbilical cord is swollen and hasn't fallen off yet when the baby is almost a month old.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a weak or torn area in the abdominal muscles of the human body, causing fat tissue or other human organs like 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. Hello, this condition is more likely due to irregular uterine contractions or gastrointestinal discomfort. It is recommended to rest actively and observe if there is any improvement. If there is no relief, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly.
