Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. I heard that my relative's child has developed an inguinal hernia, specifically an inguinal hernia strangulation. It's not very serious, but it needs to be treated promptly. I also have children at home, so I feel a bit upset about this. Hello, how can you tell if a child has an inguinal hernia strangulation? How can the disease be prevented?Doctor's answer:
For hernia, it mainly recurs as a local mass during excessive crying or intense physical activity. Generally, a recurrent acute attack refers to a mass that cannot be retracted on its own, leading to prolonged local compression of the hernial contents, causing chronic edema. The pain is more pronounced in children, who may exhibit excessive crying. Specific diagnosis is necessary in combination with clinical evaluation.During treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular routine, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
