In the early days after giving birth your body is in full recovery mode. You may have lost a lot of blood and fluids and you'll definitely be short on sleep and energy. You'll probably be sore and swollen so now is the time to enjoy some confinement and lots of rest.
Signs and symptoms[edit] A hernia is present at the site of the umbilicus (commonly called a navel, or belly button) in the newborn; although sometimes quite large, these hernias tend to resolve without any treatment by around the age of 2â3 years.
A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place. For example, the intestines may break through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. Hernias are most common in the abdomen. However, they can also appear in the upper thigh, belly button, and groin regions.our doctor may feel for a bulge in your abdomen or groin that gets larger when you stand, cough, or strain. If you have a hiatal hernia, it may be diagnosed with a barium X-ray or endoscopy. These tests allow your doctor to see the location of your stomach inside your body.
