When is the best time to treat umbilical cord injury? What are the treatments?

Umbilical cord hair is a type of excess tissue and growth located in the belly button of a child. Umbilical cord fungus needs to be treated and handled in time, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the baby's health. The best time to treat umbilical cord fungus is when the child is three to five years old. There are many ways to treat it, and there are also many things to pay attention to during the treatment process. The following is a detailed introduction for you!

Basic Introduction

Umbilical polyp is a growth of the residual tissue of the yolk duct (embryonic residual tissue) in the umbilicus of a child, also known as the umbilical yolk duct polyp or umbilical polyp.

In layman's terms, umbilical cord fungus is a cherry-red, smooth, moist polyp-like growth that appears on the wound surface after the umbilical cord of a child falls off. It may have a small amount of "pus"-like secretions (if it is bruised, the secretions may be bloody).

The fetus is connected to the mother's placenta through the umbilical cord. The connection between the base of the umbilical cord and the middle of the fetal abdomen is called the navel.

The umbilical cord contains the umbilical vein and umbilical artery (which are connected to the blood vessels in the fetus and closed after birth - becoming the round ligament of the liver), as well as the vitelline duct (which is connected to the fetus's small intestine) and the urachus (which is connected to the fetus's bladder). Under normal circumstances, structures such as the yolk duct will become blocked, fibrotic, or disappear during fetal development and after the umbilical cord is cut off, and only a skin scar depression - the umbilicus - will remain.

Umbilical cord polyp is a polyp-like growth that appears in the umbilicus of children when the distal mucosa (intestinal mucosa) has not completely disappeared after the yolk duct is blocked.

When is the best time to treat umbilical cord injury?

Umbilical cord fuzz may be caused by sebaceous gland hyperplasia, which requires a detailed examination and a clear diagnosis before there is hope of cure. You should also pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, and take more vitamins. Generally, treatment is better around three to five years old.

Treatment

1. Ordinary topical medications cannot cure umbilical cord hair, and umbilical cord hair will not heal naturally.

2. For small umbilical cord antlers, 10% silver nitrate can be used for cauterization (drug corrosion).

3. For umbilical cord antrum with a pedicle, you can tie it with thread first, and then burn the remaining part with 10% silver nitrate.

4. Thick umbilical cord hair generally requires surgical removal.

5. Other treatment methods, such as laser therapy, can also be used.

6. Those with complications need to be hospitalized for examination and treatment.
