Umbilical hernia with obstruction, without gangrene - what does this mean

Umbilical hernia with obstruction without gangrene occurs when the intestine or other abdominal contents protrude through the umbilical opening in the abdominal wall, but the hernia is not severe enough to cause the death of the tissue in the area, known as gangrene. this type of hernia can cause pain, nausea, vomiting, and an inability to pass gas or have a bowel movement.

What happens during the disease - umbilical hernia with obstruction, without gangrene

Umbilical hernia with obstruction is caused by a protrusion of the abdominal wall through the umbilical opening. this can be caused by a congenital weakness in the abdominal wall or increased intra-abdominal pressure due to obesity, pregnancy, or chronic coughing. the hernia can become obstructed when the protrusion becomes trapped in the abdominal wall, leading to a decrease in the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid and causing the area to become swollen and painful. without gangrene, the hernia can be treated through lifestyle changes, medications, or in some cases, surgery.
