Umbilical hernia refers to the protrusion or bulge in the intestine that occurs through the opening in your abdominal muscles near your belly button (navel). These are the second most common type of hernia. Umbilical hernias are very common in infants, but they are pretty prevalent in pregnant women too.
The bulge may become apparent in children when they cry or cough, causing the belly button to protrude. Umbilical hernias in children usually close on their own in the first two years of life. However, in adults, umbilical hernias need surgical repair.
Treatment
Diagnosis
Umbilical hernia can be diagnosed easily with the help of a physical examination. The doctor will feel the bulge or swelling around the belly button. In a baby, the bulge will be more noticeable when he/she cries.
During the diagnosis, the doctor will also identify if the hernia is reducible or not. Some tests may also be recommended to see if the umbilical hernia has become incarcerated. These tests include X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, or a CT scan.
The results from these tests will help the doctor determine the severity of the condition and the most appropriate treatment method.
