Patient's question:
My little baby just arrived in the world, and the family is very happy. When changing the baby's clothes, we noticed that the baby often cries and has a swollen lump at the umbilicus, with a diameter of 1-2 centimeters. The doctor told us it's an umbilical hernia. I want to know if an umbilical hernia can cause vomiting in infants?Doctor's answer:
An umbilical hernia generally does not cause vomiting in infants. When the herniated contents become adhered to the hernial sac, it may cause local pain. Occasionally, it can lead to abdominal distension and vomiting, but it rarely becomes incarcerated.，，，，，。，，。，，。
