Patient's question:
The little baby next door has a hernia, and they keep crying. It's been quite a hassle for me, so I came to the hospital for a very important examination. So, for this condition of pediatric hernia, does it cause pain?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 factors causing pediatric hernia are congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close, while umbilical hernia occurs due to the inability of the umbilical ring to shrink and close in a timely manner. Premature infants and low birth weight infants are affected because of incomplete growth and development at birth. If pain occurs, it may be related to strangulated hernia or incarcerated hernia, requiring timely surgical treatment.
