How to treat hernia in children? What are the symptoms and manifestations of hernia in children?

Pediatric hernia is a physiological variation that affects the appearance of the genitals. This is because the scrotal part of the genitals is not completely separated from the abdominal cavity during fetal development, leaving a gap that allows the inside of the scrotum to communicate with the abdominal cavity, and then part of the rectum falls off and flows into the scrotum. This situation is a symptom that has existed since birth and is a symptom of incomplete development. Although this phenomenon does not affect people's fertility, it will change the gene pattern, allowing hernias to be inherited and causing damage to the health of future generations. Let's take a look at how to treat pediatric hernia. Small hernias are caused by poor development of the abdominal wall muscle fascia, which cannot effectively cover and block the abdominal organs. It is caused by increased abdominal pressure (when crying or angry) or when standing, when the organs protrude from the abdominal wall through this place, forming a bulge. Symptoms: The main symptom of hernia is in the groin area, where you can see or touch a lump. Infants are mostly found by their mothers when changing diapers, and older children are more likely to be found when taking a bath or at a health clinic. The cause of the lump is the increase in abdominal pressure. The most common cause is crying, and others include coughing, defecation, urination, etc. Older children can be asked to stand up, and exerting force on the abdomen can also induce the appearance of lumps. The lumps may only be seen in the groin area, and some may reach the scrotum or labia. When the sick child is quiet or sleeping, they will appear and disappear. The lump is formed by the prolapse of organs in the abdominal cavity into the hernia bag. The prolapsed organs are mostly small intestines, so they feel soft to the touch. When they are retracted, they are often accompanied by gurgling noises. Others such as large intestines, appendixes, and greater omentum may also prolapse. In women, the ovaries are more likely to prolapse, so thumb-sized, hard, and mostly tender lumps can often be felt. Treatment: In infants under 6 months old, hernias can heal on their own in some children, but those who are not healed or appear after 1 year old generally require surgical treatment. The medical attitude towards the treatment of oblique cancer in children is that those over one year old should undergo surgery as soon as possible. Because pediatric hernia surgery is simple, fast and effective. The surgical trauma is small and the postoperative pain is also very light, non-surgical treatment is not recommended. The surgical method for pediatric hernia is different from that for adults. The treatment goal can be achieved by ligating the hernia sac at a high position. The skin incision during the operation is only 1.5 to 2.0 cm. There is no need to cut the inguinal canal. Just pull the hernia sac outward for high ligation. Generally, the operation is completed in about 20 minutes, and the hospital stay is 2 to 3 days. The wound does not need to be sutured. Many doctors still use the adult method of cutting the inguinal canal to treat pediatric hernia, which is not very scientific. Because the inguinal canal is destroyed, the surgical trauma is increased and the postoperative recovery time is also prolonged.
