umbilical hernia occurs because of the weakness in the abdominal muscles and wall, and most times, because it&#8217;s not fully developed.<\/p>\n<p>Many children are born with a small space in the area where the umbilical cord attaches, this gets closed over time.<\/p>\n<p>If this permeable area is very small, then, umbilical hernia is not likely to occur but if the space is about the size of a fingertip, an umbilical hernia can occur.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the development of an umbilical hernia is the combination of various factors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The weak muscles in the child&#8217;s abdominal wall<\/li>\n<li>His poorly developed connective tissue<\/li>\n<li>The strain on the abdomen &#8211; serious cough or baby colic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During these activities, the pressure on the abdomen is increased and the hernial sac presses against the navel from within the body.<\/p>\n<p>An umbilical hernia\u00a0can occur\u00a0more frequently in\u00a0premature babies than in other babies.<\/p>\n<p>With them, the muscle tissue in the abdominal area is even less developed and the area of \u200b\u200bthe navel is particularly sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_Umbilical_Hernia_in_Babies\"><\/span>Symptoms of Umbilical Hernia in Babies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some babies have an umbilical hernia right after birth but it can also develop later after birth, even at adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice a bulge near or on the belly button of a newborn, it&#8217;s likely to be an umbilical hernia, especially when it&#8217;s swollen.<\/p>\n<p>Discovering an umbilical hernia in your baby can be a terrifying experience, but it&#8217;s noting to worry much about as it can heal within a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>One day, the stomach is flat, another day, you notice there&#8217;s a bulge, all you need is to manage the baby well and avoid triggers that can make umbilical hernia complicated.<\/p>\n<p>For example, serious cough or cry can trigger a bulge under the baby&#8217;s delicate skin, like a bump around the belly button.<\/p>\n<p>This protrusion feels soft and does not cause pain when touched.\u00a0The visible symptom\u00a0often disappears\u00a0after a few hours of\u00a0sleep.<\/p>\n<p>This is because the stomach can relax and the hernial sac slips back again.\u00a0If the baby cries or coughs more the next day, the &#8220;bump&#8221; can reappear.<\/p>\n<p>These are the symptoms to show that your baby is having an umbilical hernia.<\/p>\n<p>You should consult your doctor or pediatrician as early as possible so it doesn&#8217;t develop into a strangulated umbilical hernia.<\/p>\n<p>Strangulated umbilical hernia can cause vomiting and constipation in babies, and since the intestines are protruded, blood flow can be restrained and the baby can develop ill health quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is
