Patient's question:
My baby's bowel movements were normal before, but in the past two days, his bowel movements have become very abnormal. He hasn't had a bowel movement for two days now, and his mood has also become very unstable, often crying. I think it might be an inguinal hernia. What are the symptoms of a small intestine hernia?Doctor's answer:
Regarding pediatric hernias, they are often caused by recurrent local weakness during intense crying or straining during bowel movements. This includes weakness in the scrotum or the umbilical area, which is the primary clinical manifestation. Specific diagnosis generally requires symptoms to be relieved or disappear when lying flat. It is necessary to visit the hospital for additional departmental examinations and follow-up. Multiple different effective diagnostic methods are required, and when necessary, appropriate conservative or surgical treatment should be administered.
