Patient's question:
My baby is two years old this year. This morning when my baby got up, I noticed that my baby's navel was slightly protruding. I felt it was very abnormal. I want to ask how to deal with a protruding navel in babies?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the most common cause of umbilical protrusion is umbilical hernia, while other causes are less common. It is recommended that you consult a pediatric surgeon for a detailed examination. If it is an umbilical hernia, treatment options can be conservative or surgical, depending on the situation. Follow your doctor's advice. Pay attention to personal and dietary hygiene, maintain regular bowel movements, and try to reduce abdominal pressure, which is beneficial for the recovery of umbilical hernia.
