Patient's question:
The doll is two and a half months old. At birth, it was a full-term low birth weight baby with a spiral umbilical cord. The umbilical cord fell off at 18 days, and about 4 or 5 days before it fell off, the navel was slightly protruding. The doll is two and a half months old now, and the navel protrusion is even more severe. When it exerts force, it becomes as big as one and a half fists. I want to ask if the baby's umbilical hernia can be cured without being tight?Doctor's answer:
Infantile umbilical hernia. Commonly known as "abdominal umbilical hernia." It is congenital. The umbilical scar area is a congenital weakness through which the fetus's abdomen passes via the umbilical cord during the fetal period; in infancy. The two abdominal muscles do not close completely at the midline. Leaving a defect. Called an umbilical ring. When excessive crying, coughing, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc. occur. It promotes the increase of intra-abdominal pressure. Leading to abdominal contents. Especially the small intestine. Gradually being pushed out from the umbilical area by the pressure membrane and abdominal skin. Forming an umbilical hernia.
