I'm not a medical expert but a physiological hernia is where part of the intestines is still outside the body.
When the baby is growing, early on their intestines form outside the body because there just isn't enough room for them to be covered but later the skin covers them. With a physiological hernia part of them doesn't get covered around where the belly button will be or rather where the umbilical cord is now.
Doctors operate on there hernias shortly after birth.
I know it's easy to say and hard to do but try not to worry too much. Lots of babies are born with this and are fine.
I hope everything goes well at your next appointment.
