Patient's question:
Recently, my child suddenly had a severe stomach attack, and the pain became more apparent. It seems to have appeared before, but she gradually recovered completely. After listening to what his friends said, he mentioned that it might be due to a hernia. What are the symptoms and treatments for pediatric hernias?Doctor's answer:
The most common type of hernia is an inguinal hernia, which presents as a lump in the groin or scrotum. When lying down, this lump moves into the abdominal cavity. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment. Ultrasound or CT scans can be performed for a detailed check-up. If there are symptoms of redness, swelling, abdominal pain, severe nausea, or vomiting, surgery is recommended. For children with hernias, it is clear that local pain, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting may occur. Generally, manual reduction can be attempted. Clinical diagnosis should be combined with further examination at a local hospital. After diagnosis, treatment decisions will be made.
