Umbilical hernia without obstruction or gangrene - what does this mean
Umbilical hernias occur when part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall near the umbilicus (belly button). this can occur when the abdominal muscles are weak or when there is increased pressure within the abdomen. without obstruction or gangrene, the hernia can usually be pushed back in and the area may be tender or swollen. if left untreated, it may become larger over time.
What happens during the disease - umbilical hernia without obstruction or gangrene
Umbilical hernia is a condition in which the abdominal wall surrounding the navel weakens, allowing a part of the intestine or fatty tissue to protrude through the opening. this is usually caused by increased pressure on the abdomen due to pregnancy, obesity, constipation, or other factors. without obstruction or gangrene, the hernia is usually painless and can be treated with lifestyle changes and surgery if necessary.
