Patient's question:
My little baby has a hernia that feels very uncomfortable, and recently he hasn't been eating well and often gets cranky, which makes me very worried. How should this condition be treated? Please, will a hernia cause vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Small intestinal gas vomiting, small intestinal gas is the most common inguinal hernia, and the most common contents of inguinal hernia are small intestines. If a child's small intestinal gas is not treated in time, it may lead to small intestinal gas strangulation, where the intestinal tube cannot return promptly, resulting in the formation of intestinal obstruction. In these cases, the child may experience vomiting and severe abdominal pain. Hello! Pediatric hernia mainly includes congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. The main cause of pediatric hernia is congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close, while umbilical hernia is due to the failure of the umbilical ring to close promptly. Premature infants and low birth weight infants are affected due to incomplete growth and development at birth. It is recommended that children of this age undergo surgery or minimally invasive treatment. Wishing your baby good health.
