What is an Umbilical hernia?

An umbilical hernia is an abnormal protrusion that can be seen or felt at the umbilicus (belly button). This hernia occurs when a section of the abdominal lining, part of the intestine, or fluid from the abdomen passes through the muscle of the abdominal wall.

Umbilical hernias are prevalent, affecting 10–20 percent of all children. Low birth weight and preterm babies are also more likely to develop an umbilical hernia. Boys and girls are impacted equally.

What Causes Umbilical Hernia?

As the foetus grows during pregnancy, a tiny gap in the abdominal muscles allows the umbilical cord to pass through and link mother and baby.

The hole in the abdominal muscles closes as the infant grows after delivery. However, these muscles do not always fully connect and develop together, leaving a tiny hole. This hole is known as an umbilical hernia.

Signs and symptoms of umbilical hernia

Umbilical hernias cause a bulge or swelling in the belly button region. When the infant screams, the swelling may become more obvious, but it may also decrease or vanish when the baby is calm. When a doctor gently presses on a bulge when a kid is lying down and quiet, it normally shrinks or recedes into the abdomen.

Sometimes the intestines become caught inside the umbilical hernia. This is known as an incarcerated hernia. When this happens, the youngster typically experiences great discomfort, and the bulge may be hard and red. Urgent medical assessment is essential to rule out an incarcerated hernia and avoid intestinal damage.

Diagnosis for Umbilical Hernia

A doctor’s physical examination can identify an umbilical hernia and reveal whether any stomach contents are trapped in the hernia sac.

Treatment for umbilical hernias

Many umbilical hernias close on their own by the age of three or four. If closure is not achieved by this time, surgical correction is recommended. If a younger kid is incarcerated or the hernia is particularly big, surgical treatment may be considered.

Hernia repair surgery is conducted under general anaesthesia.

A tiny incision is made around the base of the abdominal button. If any intestine is present in the hernia, it is returned to the abdominal cavity. To avoid another hernia, the hole in the muscle is closed with many layers of sutures. A dressing and/or incision glue are used to keep the belly button flat.

While preterm babies and children with specific medical issues may require overnight hospitalisation, the majority of youngsters may be discharged within a few hours of surgery.

Once the hernia is closed, it is rare for it to return. Patients who develop wound infections after surgery, on the other hand, are more likely to have recurrences.

If you suspect or have been diagnosed with an umbilical hernia, take proactive steps towards your well-being today. Your health matters, and seeking professional medical advice is crucial. Whether it’s understanding treatment options, discussing surgical intervention, or managing symptoms, consult Dr. Parthasarathy promptly. By taking action now, you pave the way for a healthier, more comfortable future. Don’t let an umbilical hernia hold you back from living life to the fullest.

FAQs

Can we treat umbilical hernia without surgery?

An umbilical hernia will not heal on its own and it requires surgery to be repaired. You can wait for the surgery if the hernia does not bother you. But it is best you undergo hernia repair surgery as early as possible because as the hernia grows bigger the muscle walls of abdomen get weaker and more tissue bulges out increasing the chances of complications.

Is umbilical hernia surgery painful?

Umbilical hernia surgery is performed under anaesthesia, so you will feel no pain during the procedure. You can experience some pain and discomfort for 1-2 weeks following the surgery which can be managed with medication.

Does umbilical hernia come back after surgery?

While the majority of umbilical hernia surgeries are successful, in very small number of cases a hernia could return months or even years after hernia surgery. Many factors affect the recurrence of hernia like obesity, excessive straining etc..

Which is better-laparoscopic or open surgery ,for umbilical hernia?

Laparoscopic hernia surgery offers a wide range of advantages over open surgery including faster recovery, less blood loss, very minimal scarring, less risk of catching infections. Laparoscopic hernia repair is the most popular option for hernia repair.
