Patient's question:
Lying down makes the lump disappear. When standing, the lump is slightly larger at times and slightly smaller at other times. Ultrasound shows intestinal hernia, a 1210mm lump, with a 8mm connection to the abdominal cavity. Currently, no treatment is being administered. It is said that surgery is required if pain occurs. What should be done if a child has intestinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the current symptoms, the relevant test results suggest that this may be related to pediatric hernia. The main cause of pediatric hernia is congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly due to the failure of the processus vaginalis to close. Umbilical hernia is caused by the failure of the umbilical ring to close in a timely manner. Premature and low birth weight infants are not fully developed at birth. It is difficult for children of this age to heal on their own. Surgery is the best treatment method.
