Patient's question:
My baby has been born for more than ten days. But recently, I noticed his navel, and it seems to be bulging. I'm very worried and afraid something might go wrong. Could you please tell me what the cause of a ventral hernia is?Doctor's answer:
Gastroschisis is a congenital developmental anomaly. It may be caused by the weakness of the development of tissues and organs in this period and this part. If the protrusion is not severe, there is a possibility of retraction. If it is severe, it can be corrected through surgery. Since the abdominal organs of the embryo are initially exposed during development and gradually covered as the fetus grows.
