How to deal with neonatal umbilical hernia

Neonatal navel hernia can be treated conservatively, including the use of hernia band. The disease can heal itself by strengthening its abdominal wall. Newborn umbilical hernia is often manifested as a reversible tumor protruding from the navel from the abdominal cavity to the body surface. The small intestine is the largest tumor, followed by the greater omentum. After the child cries violently, the swelling of the navel will appear, and the tumor can disappear after hand feeding or resting flat. If the hernia is stuck and cannot be returned, the child may cry violently. Parents should pay attention to observation and go to the hospital for timely manual reduction if necessary.
