Question
I noticed my child has an outward bulging navel since childhood, and it’s getting worse now. I don’t know what treatment methods are available?
Answer
Many children experience this condition, and parents should not worry too much. The so-called large umbilical hernia is actually a type of hernia. It is particularly common in newborns and infants, where the child’s navel may protrude. This situation usually resolves on its own, but it is still advisable to have the child examined by a hospital. If the condition does not improve by the time the child is 5 years old, surgical treatment may be considered. Therefore, consulting a regular hospital can provide the necessary treatment.
