Umbilical hernia usually presents as a soft bulge or protrusion in the patient’s umbilicus, mostly hemispherical or spherical in shape, which can be retracted when the patient stands or presses with the hand, and is usually painless. In the case of congenital umbilical hernia, the surface is covered only by the periosteum, with no skin covering. When an umbilical hernia becomes incarcerated, the patient may experience severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, requiring prompt medical attention and targeted treatment. Umbilical hernias are most common in infants and young children, but can also be seen in a few adults. Most umbilical hernias in infants and young children resolve spontaneously within the first year of life. For those that do not resolve spontaneously within the first year of life, surgery should be considered. In adults, umbilical hernias do not heal on their own and require surgery for relief. When an umbilical hernia develops, it is important to seek prompt medical attention for standardized treatment.
