Patient's question:
Your child hasn't been eating well for the past two days and keeps crying. When they cry, you notice a lump in the groin area. My friend told me this could be a hernia. I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of a hernia in children?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, this may be related to inguinal. It is a congenital disease. It is caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close during the descent of the testes in the embryonic period. For children with a history of inguinal swelling and no temporary swelling in the inguinal area, you can stimulate them to cry or increase abdominal pressure by making older children cough, hold their breath, swell, or run and jump. Then check and find the swelling to make a clear diagnosis.
