Answer 1

Usually, umbilical hernia is to be treated conservatively, hence no touch. However, look for any sign of complications like irreducibility, intestinal obstruction, redness, tenderness on the swelling, incarceration etc, then you need to operate and close the defect by an umbilical hernia repair.
