Overview
Umbilical hernia may be caused by congenital malformation of the navel or it can be acquired due to increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by obesity, lifting, coughing, or multiple pregnancies.
Causes
- The causes of umbilical hernia are as follows:[1][2]
- Congenital umbilical hernia
- Congenital malformation of the navel.
- Acquired umbilical hernia
- Due to increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by obesity, lifting, coughing, or multiple pregnancies
- Paraumbilical hernia
- Adults
- Defect in the midline near the umbilicus, and from omphalocele.
- Congenital umbilical hernia
- It is theorized that cutting the umbilical at birth is a cause of umbilical hernia.
- Allowing the umbilical cord to fall off naturally may eliminate chance of umbilical hernia in infants.
- Abnormal decussation of fibers at the linea alba may contribute to the development of an umbilical hernia.
