Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. I heard that my relative's child has an inguinal hernia, specifically an 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 worried about this. Hello, how can you tell if it's an inguinal hernia strangulation? How can it be prevented?Doctor's answer:
For hernia, it mainly recurs as a local mass during excessive crying or intense physical activity. Generally, the recurrence of acute symptoms refers to a mass that cannot be retracted on its own, 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 hernias, who also need proper nursing care.
