Patient's question:
The child often cries. After a thorough examination, the doctor said the child has an inguinal hernia. This condition has reappeared recently, and previously, the child did not cry or show any signs of pain. Since the child is still young, the doctor recommended surgical treatment. I want to understand what an inguinal hernia is?Doctor's answer:
It is due to the local weakness of the peritoneal soft tissue, the child's excessive crying, or even strenuous exercise, straining during defecation, and other situations that cause a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure to occur again, making it easy to experience symptoms of hernia again. Specific diagnosis is required in combination with clinical examination. Hello, if there is a possibility of spontaneous resolution within the first year of life, appropriate manual techniques should be applied, followed by the use of a hernia belt for local fixation after.
