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

  • 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.
