Patient's question:
I don't know what the reason is, but my daughter's abdomen bulges to both sides. The navel moves upward. I'm worried she might have a problem, so I took her to see a doctor. The doctor said this is congenital abdominal wall muscle developmental disorder. It's the first time I've heard of this disease. I'd like to ask the doctor what congenital abdominal wall muscle developmental disorder means?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Congenital abdominal wall muscle dystrophy refers to the condition where the muscles of the abdominal wall are not as numerous as those of a normal person. They are not as strong and are relatively weak. Generally, recovery is possible through standardized functional exercises. It is usually discovered during a physical examination or during surgery. If exercise does not restore normal function, abdominal care should be performed to avoid damage to the peritoneum.
