During the fetal period, the umbilical cord provides the fetus with nutrients and oxygen from the mother. When the baby is born, it no longer needs the umbilical cord to provide nutrients, and so doctors cut the umbilical cord. Eventually, the cord dries and falls off, but there are many cases where the newborn's umbilical cord bleeds, causing parents to be extremely worried.

After the baby's umbilical cord falls off, it is necessary to continue to take some measures such as cleaning the umbilical area, keeping the umbilical cord dry and clean, avoiding soaking the baby in water for too long, not applying medicine or sprinkling powder on the umbilical cord that is falling off... to limit the risk of umbilical infection affecting the baby's health.

Surgical treatment of urachal cysts in young children is usually simple and highly effective. If left untreated, some lesions of the urachal canal may develop into malignancy later.

Children with diseases caused by the presence of the urachus will have a high risk of developing inflammatory diseases and malignant lesions if not treated early.
