A half spherical mass in the umbilicus is soft, and a huge umbilical hernia may dangle downward. If the contents of the hernia are intestinal tubes, intestinal peristalsis can be seen; the hernia protrudes when standing upright and returns when lying down; there is a coughing sensation of impact, and the umbilical defect and round hernia ring can be palpated on retraction. So, how can patients prevent the symptoms of a half spherical mass in the umbilicus? The following is a brief introduction: 1. Pay attention to observe the condition You must observe and pay attention to physical changes and daily behavior, and you need to see if there is a lump in the location of the navel. Although umbilical hernia is considered a benign symptom, you still need to pay attention to observe the condition of umbilical hernia. Unlike inguinal hernia, which mostly recovers on its own and almost always does not require surgery, inguinal hernia almost always requires timely hospitalization to improve the symptoms. 2.Pay attention to observation at ordinary times It is not necessary to press the umbilicus every day to observe whether the intestines run out. Some people use coins to directly press the protruding umbilicus, hoping to improve the situation through pressure. However, experts especially suggest that no matter pressing with coins or wrapping with tape or clothes, it has no substantial effect on umbilical hernia, but is prone to contact dermatitis, especially in summer, when itchy rashes are more likely to appear due to sweltering heat.
