Patient's question:
My child is now 19 months old. After the full moon, he developed an inguinal hernia, which is a left inguinal hernia. The hernia has dropped to the size of his small fist, and it is being treated with hernia massage.Could you please tell me how to massage an incarcerated pediatric hernia?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Pediatric inguinal hernia is one of the most common diseases in pediatric surgery and hernia surgery, mainly including congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. The main cause of pediatric inguinal hernia is congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close. Umbilical hernia is caused by the delayed closure of the umbilical ring. Premature and low birth weight infants are not fully developed at birth. If an incisional hernia occurs, timely surgical treatment is required, and massage treatment is ineffective.
