Umbilical Hernia in Females Post Pregnancy
Welcoming the baby to this world and holding him in the arms is one of the most overwhelming feelings a woman can experience. But motherhood comes with its own share of pains. You may feel pain because of several reasons, even after your baby is born. One of the reasons for post-delivery pains can be postpartum umbilical Hernia.
A hernia is defined as a condition where an internal organ or a tissue bulges out through a weak opening in the abdominal muscles. Postpartum umbilical hernia may not be a life-threatening condition, but one still needs to be careful and seek medical assistance.
What is post-partum Umbilical Hernia?
Postpartum or post childbirth umbilical hernia is when the belly button protrudes outwards post-delivery. It may feel soft and tender to touch, and you may also be able to push it in sometimes. The most common symptom of an umbilical hernia is experiencing strain on the lower abdomen while sneezing and coughing continuously, or even while lifting heavyweights. Along with experiencing strain, protrusion also becomes prominent.
Causes
- An umbilical hernia is caused due to the excessive pressure built-up in the abdomen and pelvic area.
- Some women have a pre-existing defect in the umbilical region, which becomes apparent when they grow up and become pregnant themselves leading to umbilical hernia.
- Multiple pregnancies: If you have had twins or conceived with less time gap in between then your muscles tend to weaken, which also triggers the risk of a hernia.
- Overweight:
The chances of getting an umbilical hernia is
more if you are on heavier side, as it weakens the elasticity of your abdominal
muscles.
- Prolonged labour: Long hours of labour during delivery can also lead to an umbilical hernia, as it strains and stretches the abdominal muscles.
- If your core muscles are not strong enough, then it might lead to an umbilical hernia. The core muscles support your spine, waist, lower back, and abdomen. So, it is important that these muscles are strong enough to support the body.
- Accumulation of fluids in the layers of the abdominal wall and abdominal organs may also lead to an umbilical hernia.
- Straining due to prolonged coughing, lifting heavy weights, or sneezing continuously can also increase the risk of an umbilical hernia.
- Previously undergone abdominal surgeries may also lead to umbilical hernia.
Symptoms of Postpartum Umbilical Hernia
- A protruding belly button, skin around the protrusion may appear reddish-blue. There is often a loosening of the skin around the affected region with an outward protrusion in women with an umbilical hernia post a C-section delivery.
- Pain and burning sensation while lifting heavy weights, coughing, sneezing or during bowel movements.
- Postpartum umbilical hernia, especially a strangulated one, may also result in nausea and vomiting. One may also have to deal with constipation and blood in motion.
- You may see visible skin symptoms as a hernia develops after around your abdomen. This type of hernia is called an incisional hernia. The skin on your belly button becomes loose and bulges out. A hernia restricts your blood flow to the intestines, which causes the skin around the affected area to become reddish blue.
Treatment for Post Pregnancy Umbilical Hernia
A hernia is a serious medical condition with
dangerous effects if left untreated. So you need to consult your doctor even if
you do not experience severe pain or discomfort. It can cause serious effects
like uncontrollable abdominal pain, and less blood supply to your intestines.
Hence, it is advisable to have an open discussion with the doctor before
pursuing any kind of treatment or exercises.
Surgical Treatment
Surgical treatment is the most effective
treatment for Umbilical Hernia as it strengthens the weakened muscles of the
abdomen and pushes the tissues back to its place through surgery. You may opt
for laparoscopic surgery
which is less painful and more effective with minimum recovery time. The
chances of re-appearance of a hernia are also very less in this case.

How Do Hernia Mesh Implants Work?
Some studies have shown that using mesh in surgeries lead to fewer hernia recurrence. Due to the lower rate of hernia recurrence, many surgeons rely on using mesh. However, the mesh is also associated with a lot of complications. Another study observed that the rate of complications was prominently higher in patients with surgical mesh implants than those with mesh implants.
Typical Hernia Mesh Surgery Recovery Timeline
- Patients aren’t supposed to return to work or school
during this period.
- They should only perform basic daily activities such as
walking around the house.
DAYS 4 TO 7 (50% OF NORMAL CAPACITY)
- By the fourth day, most patients can return to work or
school.
- After surgery, patients are suggested to avoid lifting
anything over 15 pounds
- They can expect to still feel slight pains.
- Walking and light stretching is recommended by doctors
during this time.
WEEK 2 (75% OF NORMAL CAPACITY)
- By this time, all patients should resume their job or
classes.
- Avoid lifting anything beyond 20 pounds
- They can perform activities like jogging, yoga, tennis,
biking, and pilates.
- Patients are expected to feel some soreness and
stiffness.
WEEK 3 (85% OF NORMAL CAPACITY)
- Can perform exercises including running, swimming,
cycling, surfing, and golf.
- Patients no longer need to consume pain medicines.
- The limitations in lifting apply the same.
WEEK 4 (95% OF NORMAL CAPACITY)
- Lifting limitations no longer apply.
- Patients can resume all kinds of athletic activities,
even contact sports and heavy lifting.
- They can expect some sharp pains and some small
discomfort occasionally.
- When the pain recedes, patients can resume sexual activity.
Benefits and risks of using mesh
“Mesh, when adopted and positioned correctly, will help in reducing the risk of recurrence for most types of hernia. Therefore, there will be minimal risk of complications,” states Dr.Manas Ranjan.
According to him, the classification for the risk of recurrence after hernia repair surgery follows this way:
● High: Stitches without mesh
● Medium: Stitches with biologic mesh
● Low: Stitches with synthetic mesh
Most problematic mesh has been recalled
The Most Common Hernia Mesh Complications :
● Pain
● Infection
● Hernia Recurrence
● Adhesion
● Bowel Obstruction
If the patients experience specific symptoms following hernia repair surgery, then they should contact their doctor immediately as these signs could be some serious hernia mesh complications.
Serious Complications After Hernia Mesh Surgery:
● Experiencing sudden increased pain at the surgical wound.
● Finding increased redness or soreness at the incision
● Bleeding at the surgical site
● Nausea or vomiting
● High fever (more than 101 degrees)
● Trouble while urinating
● Facing excessive swelling or bruising at the cut or incision
Apart from this, another complication is that the mesh may migrate or shrink.
According to the FDA, most complications reported to the agency relate to mesh products that have since been recalled.
“Like every other thing, the mesh has also got some risks,” acknowledges Dr.Manas Ranjan. He adds “Further that risk also depends on other factors; the kind of hernia, its site, the way it is placed, and whether the hernia surgery is an emergency or nonemergency one.”
Research on mesh usage ongoing
Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2014 analyzed some 2,000 surgeries from 1980-2012. This research indicated that the use of surgical mesh results in fewer recurrences of hernias over five years.
But a 2016 study published in JAMA has found that for those people whose hernias occur at the site of former abdominal surgery, the long-term success of surgical mesh may be “offset in part by mesh-related complications.”
