Urachal sinus is a rare congenital abnormality in which a portion of the urachus (a tube that connects the bladder to the umbilicus in a fetus) remains open after birth. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, and fluid accumulation in the abdomen. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the affected tissue.

The most common symptom of a urachal sinus is a persistent drainage of urine or mucus from the umbilicus (belly button). Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, fever, and a foul-smelling discharge. In some cases, a urachal sinus may cause an infection of the urinary tract or abdomen.

The exact cause of urachal sinus is unknown, but it is believed to be due to a failure of the urachus to close properly during fetal development. Other possible causes include genetic abnormalities, infections, and trauma.

The treatment for urachal sinus depends on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, the sinus may heal on its own without any treatment. In more severe cases, treatment may include antibiotics to treat any infection, draining the sinus, or surgical removal of the sinus. In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the sinus open and allow for drainage.

Yes, there are treatments available for urachal sinus. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the sinus tract. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat any infection that may be present. In some cases, a catheter may be inserted to help drain the sinus tract.
