How to judge pediatric inguinal hernia strangulation

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor. I heard that my relative's child has an inguinal hernia, and it's an infantile inguinal hernia strangulation. It's not very serious, but it needs to be treated urgently. I also have children at home, so I'm a bit scared of this. Hello, how can you tell if it's an infantile inguinal hernia strangulation? How can the disease be prevented?

Doctor's answer:

For hernia, it mainly recurs as a local lump during excessive crying or intense exercise in children. Generally, the recurrence of acute symptoms refers to a lump that cannot be self-reduced, leading to prolonged local compression and edema of the hernial contents. The recurrence of local pain is more pronounced in children, often accompanied by excessive crying. Specific diagnosis requires clinical evaluation, especially for patients with recurrent hernia who also need proper nursing care.
