What's with the urachus patent?

A patent urachus, also known as urachal fistula, is an anatomical anomaly. Under normal circumstances, the urachus will gradually close after birth. If it does not close, it will show urachal exudation, moisture, etc. Most of them will not heal and need corresponding surgical treatment. If it shows patent urachus, it is recommended to go to the local regular hospital for detailed examination, such as blood routine, urine routine, color Doppler ultrasound, radiography, etc. to confirm the diagnosis, and then carry out targeted treatment. If there is no infection, surgery can be carried out directly; if there is infection, anti-infection treatment must be carried out first, and inflammation is controlled before surgery. After most operations, the patient's patent urachus will be completely cured.
