Causes
In most cases, causes of umbilical hernia occur when putting too much pressure on the weaker section of the abdominal wall involving obesity, fluid in the abdominal cavity, multiple pregnancies, previous abdominal surgery, and heavy cough.
Symptoms
In general, the symptoms of umbilical hernia must be experienced, which include abdominal discomfort, which becomes painful, does not decrease when lying down or under light pressure, occurs alongside vomiting, swells up, and becomes discolored.
Treatment
In the case of children over the age of two years, doctors will recommend surgery when the hernia is more than 1.5 cm, reducing intestinal movement, the hernia causes pain, and skin discoloration occurs at the hernia site.
