Urachal (umbilical) disorders
Urachal (umbilical) disorders occur when the tube connecting a baby's bladder to the umbilical cord during development doesn't fully close. This can cause issues near the belly button, like discharge, pain, or infection. These conditions are typically managed with surgical repair to correct the closure.
