Patient's question:
Today at noon, when my dear son was having a bowel movement, he cried and screamed with effort. At that moment, I noticed a lump the size of a ping-pong ball on the left side above the vagina. On the way to a hospital in my spare time, it had already disappeared. Later, after being diagnosed by an expert, it was found to be an inguinal hernia. How is an inguinal hernia treated in a 12-year-old boy?Doctor's answer:
Small intestinal pneumonia in children is often caused by thin muscle layers in the inguinal canal and increased abdominal pressure. In most cases, conservative treatment can be effective within the first year of life. If normal function does not return after a year, surgical intervention should be considered. For intestinal gas accumulation, a small intestinal gas bandage may sometimes be used for treatment, but it is prone to recurrence. If recovery is not achieved after the age of one, surgical treatment should be recommended.Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, avoid exposure to wind, and reduce the intake of spicy, irritating, and overly greasy foods.
