My baby is one month and his belly button is pooped out and filled with fluid should i take him in to see doctor when will it gp down?

Depends: Most infants with "outies" will eventually become "innies" as they get older.The fluid filled out-pouching is a hernia and as long as it slips in and out without problems, there is no need to do anything. If the out-pouching becomes trapped, it will swell and the kid will become inconsolable. A warm bath may help it lossen and resolve, if not a trip to the dock would be needed.

Hi there, Over the last 5 months I've lost around 30 lbs of weight. As my body is slimmer, I noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. I'm not sure if it was there and I did not notice because of the extra fat. Either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. Scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until September. Should I see an urgent care sooner? inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?
