Patient's question:
The baby is still under 3 years old, but he has had an umbilical hernia since birth and it has never gone back. Recently, I took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor recommended an umbilical hernia repair surgery. Now, after the surgery, he has developed high abdominal pressure. I want to know if high abdominal pressure after an umbilical hernia surgery can be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this condition can be treated because most children experience a hernia of the umbilical cord, which is the most common type of hernia where the umbilical cord protrudes through the abdominal wall in newborns and infants. This occurs through a weak spot in the abdominal wall; when the abdominal muscles on both sides close, a defect is left behind. Excessive crying, coughing, and diarrhea can contribute to this. Other causes of increased abdominal pressure may lead to the small intestine protruding from the umbilical cord, intestinal adhesions, or intestinal sluggishness. Tiantian, so the baby may vomit, but you can rest assured that they will gradually recover.
