Firstly, has the diagnosis been made after an Ultrasound? If not then first an ultrasound is necessary. If ultrasound has been done then kindly share the reports.
Till then, you can use abdominal binder throughout the day..it will reduce the herniation..but the ultimate treatment is surgery.

Do one usg abdomen/ CT abdomen to see the length of the defect, accordingly plan for surgery can be done. Usually asymmetric but chances of intestinal obstruction there.
