An umbilical hernia (aka belly button
hernia) occurs when intestine, fat, or fluid
pushes through a weak spot in the belly, causing
a bulge near the navel. An umbilical hernia is
most often the result of sudden or repetitive
lifting or straining. Sometimes, an umbilical
hernia may also happen to people who have health
problems that create pressure in the belly,
including obesity, pregnancy or having too much
fluid in the belly (ascites). Some umbilical
hernias are also congenital (present at birth).
The pressure of the expanding womb against the
navel can also cause an umbilical hernia in a
birthing mother.
