Umbilical hernia - Symptoms, Causes, Complications and Prevention

By A Mystery Man Writer

An umbilical hernia is a bulge or swelling in the belly button area. It occurs when part of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias are common in infants, but they can also occur in adults. In some cases, an umbilical hernia can become incarcerated. This means that the intestine or fatty tissue gets trapped in the hernia and cannot go back into the abdomen. This can be a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention.
