Patient's question:
A few days ago, while my daughter was sleeping, I discovered that the navel of our child had already protruded. For this, I felt extremely worried, so I urgently wanted to learn what should be done if the baby's navel protrudes.Doctor's answer:
Hello, most of them recover within 2 years through the gradual contraction of the umbilical cord fascial ring. To avoid actions such as crying and constipation that increase abdominal pressure in children, a hernia belt can be used for conservative treatment. This should be a symptom of umbilical hernia, which is caused by long-term elevation of abdominal pressure. For the child's condition, it is recommended to seek medical examination at a regular hospital as soon as possible to identify the cause and adopt compressive treatment. If it cannot return to normal naturally afterward, surgical treatment should be considered.
