What should I do if my baby's umbilical cord stump swells out after the first month?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally considered an umbilical hernia, it is mainly caused by local tissue weakness and the child crying. A belt can be used to wrap around the child's waist to prevent excessive pressure on the area. Over time, most of it will heal. If the protrusion is not severe, it usually poses no significant impact, but it is important to prevent intestinal incarceration.
