‘Outie’ Belly Button Concern

Dear Doctor, My daughter (who is now 4 years old) has an “outie” belly button. I am wondering if I should look into getting this fixed?

Dear Reader, An “outie” belly button is a small umbilical hernia (or hole) in the muscle fibers of the abdominal wall. In children, these hernias will often close naturally. However, if by age 4 or 5 it has not closed, then surgical repair is recommended to prevent enlargement or having other more serious problems.

Mary S. Maish, MD Dr. Maish is a board-certified thoracic and general surgeon. She holds a master’s degree from Harvard University and completed her thoracic surgery training at Baylor/MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. Dr. Maish currently serves as the chief of Thoracic and Foregut Surgery at Washington Township Medical Foundation and is on the medical staff at Washington Hospital.

The Fremont Police Department is currently accepting applications for the Teen Explorer Program. The Explorer Program is a fun and safe way for teenagers to learn more about the field of law enforcement and get community service hours. Explorers donate between five and 20 volunteer hours each month by participating in a number of department activities including ride-alongs, traffic control, building tours, and special events. All new Explorers are required to attend a one-week Explorer Academy in Southern California in August 2017. If you are between the ages of 14 to 18 and think that you might be interested in learning more about becoming a Police Explorer or hav- ing a future career in law enforcement. Applications will be accepted through February 16, at 5 p.m. For more information contact Community Services Officer/ Volun- teer Administrator Lauren Baca at (510) 790-6691.
