How to treat infant hernia? Five things to pay attention to when surgically treating infant hernia

When a baby has a hernia, treatment is required according to the condition of the hernia. If the hernia can be pushed up by itself, the condition is not serious. If it cannot be pushed up, surgery is required to avoid pain for the baby. After the operation, parents must take good care of the baby and do not reduce coughing and crying, so that the recovery effect will be better.

Infant hernia refers to a lump in the groin or scrotum when the baby cries. When the baby is quiet or lying down, the lump will shrink back, or if you push slightly upward to the outside of the groin, the lump will disappear. If the situation is serious, you need to receive medication or surgery. Let's learn how to treat infant hernia through the following article.
Treatment of infantile hernia <br/>Inguinal hernia cannot be treated with drugs. Regardless of age, all infants must undergo hernia repair surgery, which avoids the risk of damaging the spermatic cord and vasectomy. The risk of surgery is low, and the patient can be discharged from the hospital on the same day or the next day. However, general anesthesia is required during the surgery. A transverse incision is made in the groin area, and the hernia sac is ligated at a high position. This surgery can be completed in about 30 minutes by a professional doctor, with good treatment effects and few complications.
If an incarcerated hernia unfortunately occurs (the intestines are stuck in the hernia sac), the incision will be larger. If it is found during the operation that the incarcerated intestines have not yet been necrotic, the intestines will be sent back to the abdominal cavity and the hernia will be repaired; if the intestines are already necrotic, they must be removed.
3. Medication rules: Antibiotics are generally not required for selective surgery of inguinal oblique hernia. In addition, when the hernia is incarcerated or strangulated, or if there is a urinary tract infection, drugs in the drug frame "A" and "B" need to be used. For patients with complications or physical weakness after surgery for strangulated hernia, in addition to "A" and "B", new special drugs are also needed for treatment.
Postoperative precautions
1. The surgical wound is small and there is no need to remove the stitches. The wound can be directly taped with breathable tape to reduce scar formation.
2. Try to reduce coughing and crying in children.
3. Generally, you can eat 4 hours after the operation and resume normal life the next day after the operation.
4. You may experience fever or wound discomfort on the day of surgery. Just take oral medications on time.
5. Please return to the hospital for examination if you experience any of the following symptoms after surgery: persistent high fever, persistent vomiting, or redness and swelling of the wound.
