How to eliminate a hernia in a little girl?

Patient's question:

A year ago, my baby's inguinal hernia resolved on its own. But this time, a cough caused it to drop slightly again, and now both sides have it, and it's very large and frightening. How can a girl's intestinal gas be eliminated?

Doctor's answer:

This situation requires surgical treatment. If there is no improvement after one year, surgery is usually necessary. For pediatric surgery, it is recommended to perform an inguinal hernia ligation under general anesthesia. Gastrointestinal hernia is a common type of abdominal hernia. Most of them require surgical treatment. Under normal circumstances, normal exercise can be resumed within 3 months after surgery. Children should now be able to learn to dance, and it has no adverse effects on physical development. According to the description, a one-year-old child was found to have a large bilateral inguinal mass during a cough. This may be related to inguinal in children. It is an active hernia. The main reason is that the peritoneal processus vaginalis fails to close during the descent of the testis in the embryonic period. It can occur in the neonatal period and is a congenital disease. Children in this age group do not respond well to conservative treatment, and surgical treatment is the best option.
