What Is An Umbilical Hernia?
An umbilical hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal muscles near the navel. It is often visible as a bulge and may cause discomfort, but it is common and typically harmless. An umbilical hernia generally develops when the muscles near the belly button don’t close properly, allowing a small amount of abdominal tissue to push through. While they can occur in adults, they are more common in infants.
In many circumstances, particularly in infants, umbilical hernias close on their own as the abdominal muscles strengthen. However, if the hernia persists or causes pain, surgery may be suggested to repair it. If you suspect an umbilical hernia, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

What Are The Risk Factors For Umbilical Hernia?
Here are some risk factors for umbilical hernia:
- Age and gender: Infants are at an increased risk of umbilical hernia due to weak abdominal muscles. In adults, it is more common in women, mainly after multiple pregnancies.
- Obesity: Excess body weight can strain the abdominal muscles, making umbilical hernias more likely.
- Pregnancy: The stretching of the abdomen during pregnancy weakens the muscles, increasing the risk of umbilical hernia.
- Genetics: A family history of umbilical hernia may indicate a genetic predisposition.
- Coughing: Having a cough for an extended duration can increase the risk of umbilical hernias. This is because the force of coughing can add pressure to the abdominal wall.
- Chronic constipation: Straining during bowel movements can also cause umbilical hernia development.
- Previous abdominal surgery: Surgical techniques might weaken the abdominal wall, making umbilical hernias more likely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get Your Answer
Is it possible to treat an umbilical hernia without surgery?
Generally, an umbilical hernia can’t be treated without surgery in adults. However, in children, the condition may disappear on its own by the time the child is 4-5 years old. If the condition doesn’t resolve on its own, surgery is performed to repair the hernia.
Will I be asleep during umbilical hernia repair?
You will most probably receive general anesthesia, hence, you will be asleep during the procedure. But if the hernia is small, spinal, epidural, or local anesthesia may be used during the procedure. If so, you will be awake during the procedure but won’t feel any pain.
Can I get hernia treatment during pregnancy?
Yes, if the hernia is causing discomfort and pain, it can be repaired during pregnancy through the surgical procedure with minimal risks. But if the hernia is not causing any problem, the Surgeons may recommend waiting for the treatment until childbirth.
