Patient's question:
My child is 9 months old this year. Recently, his abdomen has started to swell, and he always cries non-stop. I suspect it might be a hernia. I want to ask what are the symptoms of diaphragmatic hernia? Generally speaking, what treatment is better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the current condition of your child is crying and abdominal swelling. This situation is considered to be a hernia, and it is recommended to go to the local hospital for examination and diagnosis. The occurrence of hernia is mostly caused by the presence of weak spots in the abdominal wall and increased intra-abdominal pressure. The main symptom is the appearance of a reducible abdominal mass. It is necessary to actively go to the hospital for surgical treatment, while avoiding situations such as crying and coughing, as they can easily lead to strangulation.
