The umbilical hernia we usually refer to is mainly an infant umbilical hernia, which is a congenital disease, commonly known as “gas belly button”, and is one of the main common diseases in newborns and infants. So how to deal with umbilical hernia in infants? Umbilical hernia is caused by a gap in the baby’s umbilicus, the umbilical ring, which is about 2 cm below the umbilicus and closes as the umbilical ring shrinks with age. About 90% of umbilical hernias heal themselves within 6 months of birth and 95% of umbilical hernias heal themselves within one year of age. Therefore, most umbilical hernias do not require surgical treatment and are still primarily observed during the first week of life. During the observation period, the baby should not cry as much as possible, have a clear stool, and keep warm and cold. Most babies can heal by themselves within one year of age through their own development. Therefore, before the age of 2, unless it is embedded, you can wait. Mothers who are able to do so can sew themselves a belt with adjustable elasticity and prepare a cotton bag to press the umbilical hernia bag back into the abdominal cavity using physical action, which will help to recover more quickly. If the protrusion is severe, the protruding part can be gently rubbed down with your hands to prevent intestinal necrosis caused by the intestine embedded in the area. Parents of babies with umbilical hernia should not panic because most of them can heal themselves; pay attention to the baby’s mood and avoid crying and coughing.
