Umbilical hernia is the least dangerous type of hernia and it appears very often in new born babies. This is a harmless disease, which develops in the belly-button, or umbilicus. Many new-born children have a weakness in muscles are located in this area and, after he was born and the umbilical cord (the cable through which the mother gives the child all the substances that it needs to survive), is cut off because of this muscle weakness give in to pressure and allow a small opening through which abdominal contents is based on creating a one-or bulge. In some cases, children appeared to feel pain in and around the bulge. Many mothers believe that if they constantly put the coin on the bulge and push it inside eventually disappear. No scientific studies have been carried out to verify this method, so it is not known whether it works or not. Although most of the umbilical hernia cases occur in a very young age, sometimes the muscles around the umbilicus may fail if the patient hasreached adulthood too, if the person in the cause is to do the work that uses the abdominal muscles and creates a lot of the same weaknesses that babies are born .

Symptoms of umbilical hernia are represented only a bulge that appears and nothing more. In most cases, it's flat-rate moves itself back inside, where the child sits on the back, but when they cough, Sneezes, or stands, it is very visible.

Umbilical hernia does not require any adjustment, but it needs to be kept under constant observation. The reason is the fact that nearly all the umbilical hernias heal themselves before the child reaches three or four years of age. If the child is too large bulge that closes itself in a very long time, or not at all close, so in this case may be a visit to the doctor for advice is needed. If a doctor decides that the umbilical hernia is really big and there are also a small chance that it incarcerates (which becomes very rarely), then may recommend surgical treatment. Umbilical hernia is usually treated through surgery, because children are sensitive to anesthesia, so it is better to have close to itself rather than to encounter complications in surgery. However, if the child has undergone the age of four and still has a hernia surgery is recommended, and the age of anaesthesia is no longer a danger.

Many parents are applying for 'home-made' tehniques the umbilical hernia on their child, such as forcing it to withdraw by adhesive tape to, or still are putting a book or similar object to the bulge. These methods are appropriate and can cause irritation or infection to the child on sensitive skin.

In conclusion, umbilical hernia is a harmless condition that heals itself in 90% of cases, the best you can do is get consult a doctor and then wait to heal without it seeks to accelerate the process with unrecommended methods.
