Pediatric Umbilical Hernia – What Parents You must Know

At Trust Medicare Uganda – Hoima, we care about your child’s health 💙

An umbilical hernia is a small swelling or bulge at a baby’s belly button. It happens when a small opening in the abdominal muscles does not close completely after birth.

Key points for parents:

It is common and usually harmless

The swelling may be more visible when the child cries, coughs, or strains

Most umbilical hernias close on their own by the age of 2–5 years

It is not caused by poor care or how you handle the baby

When should you see a doctor?

If the swelling becomes painful, hard, or red

If the child is vomiting or very uncomfortable

If the hernia is still present after 5 years of age

Treatment

Many children do not need surgery

Surgery is only advised if the hernia is large , painful, or does not close with time

❌ Do not tie coins, bands, or herbs on the belly button – this can cause infection.

📍 Visit Trust Medicare Uganda – Hoima for proper assessment and guidance.

*You can contact our surgeon at 0785173041 both calls and WhatsApp*

Early reassurance saves worry. Your child’s health is our priority.

An inguinal hernia, a condition in which soft tissue—commonly a portion of the intestine—pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall.

This is the clear illustration.

The intestine can get strangled and lack blood supply and subsequently it will die

When this happens, faeces can get into your tummy and poison you leading to your death.

The treatment is surgery...where by we put it back into it's rightful position

MENORRHAGIA ( HEAVY MENSTRAL BLEEDING)

In a normal menstrual cycle, a woman loses an average of 2 to 3 tablespoons (35 to 40 milliliters) of blood over three to seven days. However, some women lose a lot more blood. Menorrhagia is the medical term for heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Most women have a menstrual period every 25 to 35 days; the average is every 28 days.

Women who lose 5 to 6 tablespoons (about 80 milliliters) of blood or more during their menstrual period are said to have menorrhagia. Losing a lot of blood during the menstrual period can cause medical problems like anemia (low number of red blood cells).

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Anatomical...uterine fibroids, uterine polyps
Hormonal....thyroid anomalies, ovarian anormalies due to too much unbalanced estrogen.
Malignancy of the uterus
dysfunctional uterine bleeding if above is ruled out.

Understanding allergies.
DR.T. John (MD)

What is allergy? Many patients ask this.
It is a condition whereby a person’s body (milieu interieur- as coined by Claude Bernard)
Overreacts to something in the environment (external), which other people do not react to.
What are the common allergies?
Most of the time a person who is allergic will react to
Viral infections, bacterial infections, fungal infections, drugs (both prescription drugs and over the counter medication or local herbal concoctions), food, water, clothes……….even semen! The list is endless indeed. You just need to do your homework and find what you react too, your doctor may be of great help if you work as a team.
How does this thing really happen?
In our body’s internal environment are “soldiers” who normally protect us. For some reason (could be inherited in our bloodline, viral /fungal/bacterial/prions infections, or idiopathic reasons) , a subgroup called MAST CELLS produces too much histamine and interleukins and cytokines ( you can liken this to tea gas commonly used in Kampala), that is responsible for the clinical presentation/ your suffering.
How do I know I could be having allergy?
When exposed to something that your body overreacts to, you may see or experience these features;
Depends on which part/system of the body is involved. EYES ( Redness, itching, tearing),NOSE( Your nose could become stuffy/blocked, itchy, watery and sneezing) CHEST ( difficulty in breathing, coughing a lot, wheezing),FOOD PROCESSING SYSTEM (Diarrhea, tummy pains etc.) , HEART AND BLOOD VESSELES ( feeling dizzy, awareness of heartbeat, sweating a lot….) SKIN( can itch, swell, become red). YOU COULD EVEN FEEL THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE, AND IF YOU DON’T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU COULD DIE.
What should I do to be safe?
Try as much as possible to identify and avoid what the body overreacts to whenever possible. Contact your doctor and work as a team to fight this problem.DO NOT JUST BUY DRUGS, SOME SIDE EFFECTS COULD BE WORSE THAN THE ALLERGY ITSELF.
