Patient's question:
The child of my neighbor has developed an umbilical hernia. I recommended using an umbilical hernia belt for the child, but the neighbor is worried about it not working well. I'm also hesitant, so I'd like to ask: is it good to use an umbilical hernia belt for infants?Doctor's answer:
The umbilical hernia belt is not only convenient to use but also does not affect daily life. The umbilical hernia belt initially serves a mechanical and physical function. It supports the protrusion of the umbilical hernia, preventing it from recurring. Under these conditions, through the relaxation force of microvessels, it activates the circulation of cardiomyocytes, promotes cell growth, thickens the ruptured umbilical hernia, enhances compressive toughness, improves local blood circulation, and softens the muscles and ligaments. The tissue recovers its function. The fabric of the umbilical hernia belt is soft, breathable, and sweat-absorbent, making the baby feel comfortable.
