Patient's question:
Now my baby is already three years old. When he was a child, we noticed that he had a protruding navel. It's still getting worse now. Watching the child is very uncomfortable, and he cries and screams non-stop. I don't know if there is a good way to treat it. Where can I take the baby for treatment of a large umbilical hernia?Doctor's answer:
In fact, many children have such conditions. Parents don't need to worry too much. When parents say "huge umbilical hernia," they are referring to an umbilical hernia, which is a type of hernia. Especially during the neonatal and infant period, children often develop large umbilical protrusions. These can be treated, and sometimes they will gradually resolve on their own as the baby grows. However, it is still advisable to have the child checked by a doctor. If the condition does not improve after the child is 5 years old, surgical treatment can be considered. Therefore, going to a regular hospital can provide treatment.
