What is another word for umbilical hernia?
Pronunciation: [ʌmbˈɪlɪkə͡l hˈɜːniə] (IPA) 
An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles near the belly button. Synonyms for this condition include an umbilical rupture, belly button hernia, and navel hernia. Other terms may include ventral hernia or incisional hernia, depending on the location and cause of the protrusion. Umbilical hernias are common in infants, and in some cases may heal on their own without treatment. However, in adults, surgery may be required to repair the hernia and alleviate discomfort or potential complications.
