Precautions after pediatric hernia surgery, 4 nursing measures for children after hernia surgery

When a child has hernia, they should be actively treated. Currently, the most effective treatment is surgical treatment. After choosing surgical treatment, certain precautions should be taken. First of all, attention should be paid to the care of redness and swelling, and the wound should be kept away from water. The same attention should be paid to daily diet. It is recommended to follow the principle of gradual progress.

If a baby has a hernia after birth, he may not need treatment at first and can recover. However, after more than 6 months, the possibility of self-recovery is basically not very high, and he must go to the hospital for surgery. However, some precautions must be taken after surgery. So what are the precautions for children's hernia surgery?
1. Pay attention to redness and swelling <br/>After pediatric hernia surgery, you should actually observe whether there is redness and swelling, and then observe whether the baby's body temperature rises, and whether the overall mental state is good. After the operation, if there is a postoperative infection, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive wound treatment. If the affected area is red and swollen after the operation, if the baby's scrotal swelling is not particularly serious, and the hematoma is relatively small, then no special treatment is required during this process, and it will basically be self-absorbed. If the baby's hematoma is relatively large and is accompanied by obvious pain, surgical treatment is also required.
2. Pay attention to wound care <br/>After the operation, it is necessary to observe whether the baby's testicles are atrophied. If there is atrophy, treatment is required as soon as possible. If it is excessively atrophied, not only will the blood supply to the testicles be affected, but the testicles will also become soft and shrunk, which will cause serious harm. After the operation, parents should take good care of the baby's wound, do not let it get wet, and do not let the child cry frequently to avoid worsening of the condition.
3. Pay attention to daily diet <br/>After a hernia operation, children must pay special attention to the three to four hours after the operation. It is not advisable to eat at this time. It is also very important to eat as little as possible within 6 hours after the operation. The amount of food needs to be gradually increased. Most patients also need to be hospitalized for observation after the operation. If the wound is not inflamed or suppurated, they can basically be discharged.
4. Pay attention to daily exercise . After pediatric hernia surgery, you need to be careful not to let the child engage in exercises such as jumping, jumping, and running. Also, within one month after the surgery, the child should not engage in strenuous exercise and should rest as much as possible.
