Patient's question:
The child suddenly had severe abdominal pain, so I rushed her to the hospital for examination. After the check-up, the doctor said it was an inguinal hernia with an incarcerated ovary. I want to know how long it takes for an inguinal hernia with an incarcerated ovary to cause necrosis?Doctor's answer:
Hernia may have the possibility of strangulation. The conservative treatment methods are as follows. First, try to minimize the child's crying, as crying can increase abdominal pressure and lead to hernia recurrence. Second, keep the child's bowel movements moist. Dry stools can also cause increased abdominal pressure and lead to hernia recurrence. If the above methods do not work, consider hernia recurrence and strangulation. If the baby's age is over one year, the possibility of the hernia healing on its own is basically zero, and then we need to use surgical methods.
