Patient's question:
Female, 1 month illness/symptoms: A small lump has appeared in the umbilical cord of a 58-day-old child.Description of condition: Hello. Could you please explain what might be causing a small lump in the umbilical cord of a 58-day-old child?
Doctor's answer:
The umbilical hernia you described in the child is likely an umbilical hernia. This is due to the child's poor development of the rectus abdominis fascia. When abdominal pressure increases, the intestines will protrude. This conservative treatment will make the child cry less. It will gradually improve!Question: Thank you. What should we do now? Do we need to see a doctor immediately? The children will hear more. Don't cry. Go back to your observation. If you can't, go to the hospital.
