Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of pediatric hernia? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to recover if treated? Please help me, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of pediatric inguinal hernia: Typically, a bulge may appear in the groin area when the child cries, moves, or has a bowel movement, sometimes extending to the scrotum or labia majora; it may disappear on its own after resting or sleeping. In severe cases, it may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or restlessness. Surgery is required, and currently, surgery is the only treatment for hernias.Advice: Once a hernia is detected, it should be treated with proper surgical intervention as soon as possible. Delaying treatment for too long may lead to incarceration or strangulated hernia. Conservative treatment often only provides temporary relief and is difficult to solve the problem fundamentally.
