Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it's affecting my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took isn't very effective. What medicine should I use if the navel of the baby is protruding?Doctor's answer:
The current condition is considered to be an umbilical hernia, which is caused by the baby's weak abdominal wall muscles and the protrusion of the intestinal tube from the weak area when intra-abdominal pressure increases. As the baby grows older and the abdominal muscle strength improves, the hernia may naturally disappear. Since the hernia ring is relatively wide, it is unlikely to become incarcerated, so there is no need to be too concerned. When the baby cries or defecates, apply pressure to the umbilical area to prevent it from protruding. If the protrusion progressively increases, a abdominal bandage can be used for compression.
