Patient's question:
Sometimes the baby still vomits and has a fever. At first, it was thought that the baby had eaten something wrong, but later, blood was found in the baby's stool. They quickly went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that the baby had infantile inguinal hernia. The surgery was just performed a couple of days ago. What should be paid attention to after a child undergoes hernia repair surgery?Doctor's answer:
As reported, at the age of one, symptoms such as crying, vomiting, and fever repeatedly appeared. After examination by the hospital, it was diagnosed as pediatric hernia. The main reason is that the peritoneal sac failed to close during the descent of the testis in the embryonic period. It may occur in the neonatal period. This is a congenital disease. Children in this age group often suffer from hernia and it is difficult to resolve on their own; they must undergo surgery or minimally invasive treatment. After the surgery, it is advisable to avoid strenuous crying, coughing, and constipation. These actions can increase abdominal pressure, making it easier for the hernia to recur.
