Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The treatment of umbilical hernia includes surgical and non-surgical methods. Surgical treatment involves the removal of the hernia sac and the repair of the abdominal wall. Non-surgical treatment commonly uses the adhesive method, or applying tape or coins to press the umbilical area to prevent the hernia from protruding. However, in most cases, children under the age of 2 do not require treatment unless there are special circumstances. If the umbilical hernia still exists at the age of 2, it is advisable to consult a doctor to determine the appropriate treatment method.
