Patient's question:
Because my little baby often has hernia recurrence, the doctor at the hospital said that surgery can completely treat it, but I'm afraid the recovery time after surgery will be too long. After all, it's surgery. I want to ask how long does the umbilical cord stump of the baby need to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby has recurrent umbilical hernia. Currently, he is two years old. Umbilical hernia is a common type of abdominal hernia. It refers to the protrusion of abdominal contents through the weak area of the umbilicus, forming a hernia. When intra-abdominal pressure increases, such as during coughing, constipation, or crying, it tends to recur. Umbilical hernia requires active surgical treatment. Minimally invasive surgery can be used. Generally, full recovery to normal can be achieved three months after the operation.
