Does an umbilical hernia in a baby need treatment?

The physical development of infants and young children is not as sound as that of adults, and they are affected by many external factors. Now more and more babies suffer from umbilical hernia. Generally speaking, children's umbilical hernia is caused by the depth of the umbilical cord when it is tied. In addition, children eat a lot when they are young, their abdominal tension is relatively high, or they like to cry and make a fuss, which can cause umbilical hernia. This strange-sounding disease is very common among infants.

But regarding this disease, some people say that it needs treatment, while others say that it does not need treatment and can heal on its own. But children are so precious that no matter what we do, it seems wrong. Afraid that the child will suffer and that it will affect the child’s future life. I don’t know whether I need to treat Qishan.

If the umbilical hernia is larger than normal, it is called umbilical hernia. It will gradually heal as the abdominal tension increases. If the tumor is larger than 4 or 5 centimeters, and the possibility of cure is slim, surgery is required, which is also relatively simple.

For some children, their abdominal muscles will be partially cured after a few months as their tension improves. If it is not particularly large or protruding high, pay attention to it and try not to let him cry or have a bloated stomach. When he cries, hold that part down with your hand and don't let him move up indefinitely. If you hold it down, the tension will go up and it won't protrude. If a section of abdominal muscle grows well, it can be cured. If not, a minor surgery can be performed.

Sometimes the belly button is unwilling to stay in the middle, and will bulge out quite abruptly in the center of the abdomen, causing an "umbilical hernia" condition that worries many parents. Is this bulging belly serious? Does it require examination or surgery? Some people say that this may be a problem with thyroid function. Is this true? In fact, the baby's abdominal wall muscle layer is thinner and looser, and the more gas in the stomach forms a greater intra-abdominal pressure. The ring structure of the belly button itself is not strong enough to tighten and close, so umbilical hernia is very easy to occur.

I hope that after reading the above expert explanations, parents and friends will no longer be afraid that their children may suffer from Qishan disease, because to a certain extent this disease can be cured on its own. When you go into seclusion, you must choose the best treatment method. Don't blindly see a doctor for treatment, as that will be both costly and painful. In order to reduce the pain of children in the future, I believe we also need scientific methods of treatment.
