On a house, that loose board will cause the roof to leak, and if there isn't enough room for expansion, stuff will start to buckle. As it turns out, the body has numerous seams that need to be made just right so that they don't pull apart and let body parts slide into places they don't belong. The abdomen is surrounded by numerous muscles to keep the stomach, small intestine, and colon where they belong, but if one of these organs starts to slip though a weakness or a hole in the muscles, it's called a hernia. To be fair, many other parts of the body can have organ herniation.

Abdominal and Digestive Conditions / Diagnoses Umbilical Hernia Related Services Surgery Family Resource Center Description Causes ... Prognosis What is an umbilical hernia? An umbilical hernia is an abnormal bulge that can be seen or felt at the umbilicus (belly button). This hernia develops when a portion of the lining of the abdomen, part of the intestine, and/or fluid from the abdomen, comes through the muscle of the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias are common, occurring in 10% to 20% of all children. They are, however, more common in African Americans. Low birth weight and premature infants are also more likely to have an umbilical hernia. Boys and girls are equally affected. What causes an umbilical hernia? As the fetus develops during pregnancy, there is a small opening in the abdominal muscles that allows the umbilical cord to pass through, connecting mother to baby. As the baby grows after birth, this opening in the abdominal muscles closes. Sometimes, however, these muscles do not meet and grow together completely, and a small opening remains. This opening is called an umbilical hernia. What are the symptoms of an umbilical hernia?
