- Umbilical Hernia
- SYMPTOMS are sometimes seen in a woman but most often in an infant and
- consists of a protrusion of the naval.
- CAUSES. The naval may look inflated due to weak muscles pulling away and
- allowing the abdominal membrane to protrude under the skin.
- TREATMENT. Use adhesive tape for support. Surgical repair may be required.
