Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My baby girl is 16 months old. From birth she has had a large abdomen. She has a cylinder shape hernia from sternum to belly button. Doctors told me it would dissapear when her muscles get stronger but I think it s actually getting worst. It s sticking out looking unnatural. What can this mean? thank you
By what you say I feel that your kid may be having divarication of recti. I would suggest getting an ultrasound abdomen done and if no intestinal contents in the hernia like appearance then - you can stay assured, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
