Patient's question:
My child is now 1 year old. He has been doing very well recently. I took him to a nearby clinic for a check-up. The doctor at the clinic said he has a hernia. I plan to go to a hospital for further examination tomorrow. Now, I would like to ask about the causes of infantile inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello! A one-year check-up revealed pediatric hernia. Pediatric hernia mainly includes two types: congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. The main factor is congenital. Inguinal hernia is mainly caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close. Umbilical hernia occurs when the umbilical ring cannot shrink and close in time. Premature infants and low birth weight infants are due to incomplete growth and development at birth. Avoid actions such as severe coughing, crying, and constipation.
