Patient's question:
My child is only a few months old now, but now the child has the issue of hernia. My mother-in-law wants to take the child for urination training, so I would like to ask, can children with hernia be trained for urination?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 promptly. Premature infants and low birth weight infants are prone to hernia because of incomplete growth and development at birth. Urination is possible, but the duration should not be too long, as it can easily lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure, exacerbating hernia symptoms.
