Patient's question:
Recently, my child has been coughing frequently. When standing up, there is a lump that reappears with abdominal effort. During naps, it appears and disappears intermittently. I took the child for a thorough examination, and the doctor said this is a hernia and recommended surgery as soon as possible. I don't understand this condition very well. What is a hernia?Doctor's answer:
It is due to the weakness of the peritoneal wall and the weakness of the intestines. In such a situation, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for a careful examination with color Doppler ultrasound to check the specific condition. Generally, surgical treatment is required to implement the treatment. After surgical treatment, it is essential to rest in bed as the foundation, avoid movement, maintain a light diet, and avoid the intake of greasy and irritating foods. If there are pain symptoms, non-steroidal drugs can be used to promote blood circulation.
