UMBILICAL HERNIA OR RUPTURED NAVAL

Causes

When the fetus is growing and developing during pregnancy, there is a small opening in the abdominal muscles so that the umbilical cord can pass through, connecting the mother to the baby.

After birth, the opening in the abdominal muscles closes as the baby matures. Sometimes, these muscles do not meet and grow together completely, and there is still a small opening present. A loop of intestine can move into the opening between abdominal muscles and cause a hernia.

Signs and symptoms

Bulge or swelling in the belly-button area. The swelling may be more noticeable when the baby cries, and may get smaller or go away when the baby relaxes.

1. A full, round abdomen
2. Vomiting
3. Pain or fussiness
4. Redness or discoloration
5. Fever
