How does the child have hernia to treat? What disease is hernia?

I believe many people have heard of hernia. Especially for parents with babies, in fact, we really don't know what hernia this is. Hernia can make the patient very uncomfortable, and the whole body is uncomfortable. Children are the most prone to hernia, and parents are naturally very sad. So how to treat hernia in children?

1, how to treat hernia in children?

The medical explanation of hernia is that an organ or tissue in the human body leaves its normal anatomical position and enters another part through congenital or acquired weaknesses, defects or pores.

Although there is no limit to the age of surgery, if the age is too small, it will have an impact to some extent. Especially children don't know what a hernia is. Only through the examination of doctors can they draw a conclusion and then choose treatment and nursing methods. Because children can't express themselves, they can only convey their discomfort to adults by crying. Non-surgical treatment is aimed at the elderly who are at risk of surgery, or those who are weak. Because hernia is what disease, we can only describe it roughly, and the specific treatment method needs the doctor's careful judgment.

Generally speaking, hernia can only be effectively cured through surgical repair and health care. But the patient doesn't know what a hernia is. In particular, many children have had such symptoms, which may not be suitable for surgical repair.

2. The child has hernia symptoms.

1, inguinal mass

When children cry, exercise vigorously and have dry stools, there will be a protruding lump in the groin, sometimes extending to the scrotum or labia; When lying flat or pressing by hand, it will disappear automatically.

2. Symptoms of digestive system

Children's hernia will affect the baby's digestive system, thus causing abdominal distension, constipation, abdominal pain, malabsorption and other symptoms.

3. Reproductive system symptoms

Because the groin is adjacent to the genitourinary system, some children with hernia will affect the development of reproductive organs because of the extrusion of hernia.

4. Reversible hernia

In the early stage of hernia in children, the tumor can disappear when the child lies flat and quiet; As the intra-abdominal pressure continues to rise, the tumor can descend into the scrotum. At this time, if we can remove the factors of increasing intra-abdominal pressure, let the child lie flat, or gently push the tumor to the abdominal cavity, the tumor can return to the abdominal cavity through the downward passage of the testis, and the tumor will disappear. This condition is called reversible hernia.

5, hernia incarceration

Once the hernia mass is incarcerated (the hernia mass cannot be recovered), there will be symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, anorexia, crying and irritability.

The symptoms of hernia incarceration in children are mainly due to the inflammatory swelling caused by the easy extrusion or collision of the intestinal tube or omentum in the hernia sac, which makes it difficult for the hernia to reintegrate, leading to hernia incarceration, and finally causing severe abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, intestinal necrosis and other serious complications. If it is not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

6. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction

If the tumor can't return to the abdominal cavity, abdominal pain will worsen and crying will continue, and then there will be symptoms of intestinal obstruction such as vomiting, abdominal distension and poor defecation. Elliptic tumor can be seen in groin or scrotum, with hard texture and obvious tenderness. Patients with long-term incarceration may have red and swollen skin, and the intestinal tube can not be reattached for a long time, which may cause serious complications such as intestinal ischemia and necrosis.
