Therefore, if a person is attentive to himself, to the state of his health, he will certainly notice unusual changes and the first signs that indicate that the disease is developing. In women, the symptoms of umbilical hernia are as follows:

1. The first sign is the development of redness in the navel and its protrusion. It is at this stage that the navel of the hernia very easily recovers, and the patient does not feel any painful sensations.

4. During the lifting of loads, there is a drawing pain in the abdomen. This is because the muscles of the peritoneum are straining. Drawing pain also occurs during bowel movement, during constipation.

There is an umbilical hernia in adults, the symptoms can be different.

2 Danger of

The main concern is that the hernia can cause pinching of the peritoneum. This, in turn, will lead to violations of blood circulation in organs and tissues and their further withering away. This can lead to peritonitis, and then the operation will be urgently needed. Pincering can occur even if physical stress is not expressed. For example, lead to a pinch can:

• cough;
• peritoneal injury;
• laughter;
• load;
• natuga.

The navel of a hernia with a jam is accompanied by the appearance of sharp pain in the abdomen. You can also notice that the hernial sac has darkened, because it filled with blood. In addition, while touching the bag, it is noted that the place has become hotter.

If the above mentioned signs of umbilical hernia are noted, then it is impossible to correct this hernia yourself, only surgery will help and only a professional surgeon.

The navel of the hernia with a pinch can also be accompanied by an increase in the body temperature, fatigue, vomiting reflex, headache and a feeling of pain in the joints or lower back. In the presence of this symptomatology, an ambulance team should be called immediately. The causes of the disease can be different. Let's list some:

1. Hereditary factor, an anomaly of the umbilical ring.
2. It is also dangerous and umbilical hernia in adults, when the symptoms of a hernia often appear in women during the period of gestation of the baby. During fetal growth, pressure on the abdominal wall increases, and the navel of the hernia can find slack. It is not uncommon for a woman in the position to see a bulging navel, but if the process proceeds without pathologies, then this is not dangerous. But it is best to be safe and wear a bandage or compression underwear during pregnancy. Special gowns should be prescribed by a gynecologist.
3. Excess weight and sedentary lifestyle.
4. Failure in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, unhealthy diet, chronic constipation.
5. Prostatitis in a man can cause the development of a hernia, since with painful urination the abdominal cavity is constantly straining.
6. Diseases of the peritoneum, for example, cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis provokes ascites, which leads to a hernia.
7. Blunt abdominal trauma and constant physical activity, lifting weights.

3 Treatment measures

If a hernia in adults formed, a surgeon should prescribe the treatment. He will conduct a visual examination, a patient interview, palpation in order to determine the severity of the disease. Only a surgeon can prescribe an effective treatment. Treat yourself is prohibited. With a complex degree of hernia, only surgery will help, all other techniques will be powerless. The most terrible, but, unfortunately, often admitted error is an appeal to folk healers. It should be understood that delaying treatment with traditional methods can cause irreparable harm to health. If the navel of the hernia is accompanied by an incision of the intestine, then a hernioplasty is performed - an operation to remove the hernia. Gernioplasty can be carried out in three ways:

1. Stretching hernioplasty. This technique is a classic, which has been worked out for decades. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon cuts the skin of the navel and excretes the hernial sac. The contents of the bag are sent to the place, laid on the anatomy of the body. Excess fabric is cut off. Herniated gates are sutured with tendons or fascia tissues. The advantage of this technique is that it is simple and inexpensive.
2. Endoprosthetics. The peculiarity of this technique is that the gating of the gate does not take place, and a special endoprosthesis is placed in place of the umbilical ring. The endoprosthesis is a sterile polypropylene mesh. Simply put, a patch is applied to the gates, which eventually fuses with the surrounding tissues and prevents the re-emergence of the umbilical hernia. The advantage of this technique is that the tissues completely retain their structure, given by nature, and the possibility of re-development of the hernia is reduced to zero. In addition, rehabilitation is many times faster and easier. However, the cost of such an operation is not small, and it takes more time than stretching hernioplasty. In theory, foreign tissue can be rejected, but during the practice of such cases were not.
3. Laparoscopic hernioplasty. This method is considered innovative. Operative intervention is without incisions. In the abdominal cavity, only two small holes are made, through which the surgeon removes excess tissue, corrects the hernia and puts an implant. The entire process is performed under the supervision of mini-chambers inside the abdominal cavity. This intervention is performed exclusively under general anesthesia, only by professional surgeons using special equipment. The cost of such a technique is high. After the operation is carried out, the patient must wear a special bandage for at least 30 days. In no case can not lift weights, but light exercises with umbilical hernia must be done necessarily. It is necessary to walk in the fresh air and do uncomplicated gymnastics in the morning.

It is not worth to be afraid of surgical intervention, because the methods of surgical treatment have been conducted for a long time, and there are practically no cases of complications. It is more terrible not to treat a hernia, which can lead to complications.

4 The manifestation of pathology in children

The navel of a hernia is the most common pathology of children. There is a navel of a hernia in every 5 children. Among the premature infants, the ailment is diagnosed in every third baby. Almost every child at birth has a defect of the navel ring. The baby screams and tears his tummy, there is a bulging out of the intestine. Infringement of a hernia in children is diagnosed very rarely.

Hernia usually appears in the first month of a child's life. When the umbilical remainder disappears, the parent may notice the appearance of protrusion in its place. This hernia is very easy to fix, the main thing is to turn to the doctor in time. The navel can be advanced in this situation, but it is important to understand that a navel that is protruded by a centimeter is not necessarily a sign of a hernia. Sometimes the protruding navel can be an anatomical feature. Hernia of the navel is not a bulging navel, but a consequence of abnormalities in the peritoneal tissues that were caused by a weakening of the ring around the navel. Hernia is possible to feel under the navel. At the kid a pathology can develop because of nadryvnogo crying, a cough, a delay of a feces. To provoke a hernia can such violations as:

• rickets;
• low muscle tone;
• hypertrophy.

Often, in conjunction with this disease, the baby can disperse the direct muscles of the peritoneum, this is due to the fact that the muscles are weakened. How much the hernia will get out depends entirely on what size the umbilical ring has. If the ring is small, the hernia will only show if the baby cries. Hernia can develop as a result of early standing on the legs and adopting a vertical position.

5 Therapy in toddlers and preventive measures

Hernia of the navel in children can spontaneously close. If the ring has a size of one and a half centimeter, then by the age of five, the hernia can close. In the event that the hernia does not close, then it is necessary to consult a surgeon and discuss with him the time of the nearest surgical treatment. If the umbilical ring is large, the hernia itself will not close. In this case, the operation should be performed, it is better when the child is 3 years old. To determine the tactics of treatment, you should contact a doctor-surgeon.

Conservative techniques for children up to one year include massage, exercise therapy, putting on the stomach. Massage should be done by a qualified masseur. LFK is done only under the supervision of a doctor and in a special office. Another method of conservative treatment is the application of a bandage bandage to the baby's stomach. You should not resort to the methods of traditional medicine, let alone "talk" a hernia. This will lead to serious complications and will make the symptoms more pronounced. Treatment should be exclusively under the supervision of a doctor. For preventive purposes, avoid overvoltage of the tummy in the baby. It is necessary to prevent the development of constipation and gas formation.

It is necessary to exclude from the menu for every day cabbage, peas, beans, whole milk, sweet, nuts, spicy and smoked. Need to eat more cereals, sour-milk products, vegetables and fruits. If the baby is fed artificially, then the pediatrician should recommend the infant formula. From constipation the doctor can prescribe such drugs as:

1. Espumizan;
2. Plantex;
3. Baby Cam.

In conclusion, it should be noted that preference should be given to breastfeeding. Mom at the same time must adhere to the diet.
