Umbilical Hernia
An umbilical hernia is the protrusion of tissue or part of the intestine through a weak point in the abdominal wall, right around the navel.
Common symptoms: A bulge near the navel that may become more noticeable when coughing, crying, or straining, sometimes with mild discomfort.
Common causes: It is common in babies due to incomplete closure of the abdominal wall, and in adults it may be related to increased abdominal pressure.
Which specialist treats it? The general surgeon evaluates umbilical hernias in adults, while the pediatrician or the pediatric surgeon does so in the youngest patients. If you observe a bulge at the navel that grows or causes pain, the advisable thing is to have a professional check it.
