Paraumbilical Hernia
What is Paraumbilical Hernia?
About
The incomplete joining of abdominal wall layers results in the formation of a bulge near the belly button due to the pushing of intestines.
A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. [1]
- Physical examination by a doctor is required for confirmation.
- Mostly affects infants and children.
- X-Ray imaging and Ultrasound might be required.
- Can be physically discomforting and painful.
The potential causes of a paraumbilical hernia are abdominal surgery, persistent and heavy cough, frequent pregnancies, multiple gestation pregnancies, and being overweight. Premature babies and babies born with low birth weight face a higher risk of developing this condition.
Ages Affected infancy and below the age of 5 years most often; above 5 years less often

Treatment
In infants and children, the hernia usually subsides without the requirement for treatment. In adults, doctors suggest surgery to repair a hernia to avoid further complications. The doctor issues nil-by-mouth (NBM) three hours before surgery until then one can consume clear liquids. The surgery lasts 30-60 minutes and the recovery is fast-paced.
