Patient's question:
Got an inguinal hernia. Recently, it keeps dropping down. It falls whenever the baby walks. The check-up said it's fine as long as the baby doesn't cry. But I'm still very worried. I'd like to ask, what should I do if the baby's inguinal hernia can't go back up?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Pediatric hernia is caused by congenital developmental imperfections of tissues. It becomes unbearable after activity or crying. When abdominal pressure rises, abdominal tissue may protrude from the hernia ring. If the hernia sac cannot be, the possibility of strangulation should be considered. It is necessary to go to the hospital. It is recommended to strengthen care and prevent colds in daily life, avoid chronic coughing, crying, and overexertion. If the hernia sac is obviously bulging, the child should lie down and rest in time, and artificial reduction should be performed. If it cannot be reduced, they need to be treated in the hospital.
