Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How is it treated when a child has a rectocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Hernias are usually caused by defects or weakness in the abdominal wall. The typical symptom is that a lump appears in the groin or even descends into the scrotum when the baby cries, but it disappears during rest or when sleeping quietly. If the baby is younger than 2 years old, conservative treatment can be used temporarily. A hernia belt can be used to secure the lump. Most pediatric hospitals have these for sale, so it is recommended to use one. If the baby is 2 years old and the hernia is still quite noticeable or has worsened, manual treatment should be administered promptly. The smaller the baby, the lower the chance of recurrence. Only a high ligation of the hernia sac is needed. If the lump does not disappear and the baby continues to cry, it is important to seek emergency care at the hospital's surgical department. It is also advisable to cultivate a good temperament and personality in the baby, avoiding crying and colds or coughs.
