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 quickly. I also have children at home, so I'm a bit upset about this. Hello, how can you tell if it's an inguinal hernia strangulation? How can the disease be prevented?Doctor's answer:
For inguinal hernia, it mainly recurs as a local mass during excessive crying or intense exercise. 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 hernia contents. The pain is particularly pronounced in children, who may exhibit excessive crying. Specific diagnosis must be combined with clinical evaluation.During treatment, patients should adhere to a balanced diet, maintain regular, 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.
