Physiological factors: wearing diapers too tight or diapers are too rough resulting in local abrasions, this situation can be replaced with larger or soft texture diapers, and at the same time through the local disinfection, to strengthen the protection of the navel, the symptoms will soon be relieved. 2.

(2) Neonatal hemorrhagic syndrome: also known as neonatal vitamin K deficiency hemorrhagic syndrome, this case is often bleeding for a long time, under the guidance of the doctor should be given to newborns applying vitamin K, which can play a role in stopping bleeding. (3) Abnormal coagulation function: abnormal coagulation function in the early neonatal period will lead to the phenomenon of umbilical cord bleeding that is not easy to stop, and should consult a doctor in time to check the specific causes, and in serious cases, it is necessary to supplement coagulation factors, so that the plasma concentration of coagulation factors reaches the level of coagulation, thus reducing the bleeding situation.
