☆ Parenting Q & A "umbilical hernia" ☆

Q:I am concerned that my 3-week-old child's navel is protruding more than at birth.
A: The umbilical hernia is a condition in which the navel protrudes due to strong abdominal pressure before the navel is formed. 80% of cases heal spontaneously by the age of 1 year and 90% by 2 years, but depending on the condition, follow-up observation, compression therapy or surgery may be necessary. Swelling or discoloration around the navel ・ If there are symptoms of concern, such as crankiness, see a health care provider immediately. If no symptoms are seen, discuss the presence of a protruding navel with your doctor at the 1-month checkup.
