Symptoms of hernia in children

summary

Infantile hernia is a common congenital disease in infants, also known as "demyelination". This disease is more common in male infants. It is caused by the fact that the peritoneum sheath process in the groin and scrotum is not completely occluded at birth, and the abdominal muscles are not strong enough. The symptom of child hernia? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Symptoms of hernia in children

Pediatric hernia may occur several days, months or years after birth. Usually in children crying, strenuous exercise, dry stool, there will be a protuberant mass in the groin, sometimes extending to the scrotum or labia, and it will disappear when lying flat or pressing with hands.

Once the hernia mass incarcerated (hernia mass can not be returned), there will be abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, anorexia or crying, irritability. In the early stage of children's hernia, when children lie flat and quiet, the tumor can disappear. With the continuous increase of intra-abdominal pressure, the tumor can drop into the scrotum.

If the tumor can not return to the abdominal cavity, abdominal pain will increase, crying more than, and then vomiting, abdominal distension, defecation and other intestinal obstruction symptoms. In the inguinal or scrotal visible oval tumor, hard texture, obvious tenderness. If the intubation time is long, the skin may be red and swollen. If the intubation can not be recovered for a long time, there may be serious complications such as intestinal ischemia and necrosis.

matters needing attention

Parents can give children with hernia a glass of light salt water on an empty stomach every morning and a cup of honey before going to bed. This will keep the bowel movement unobstructed and help relieve the symptoms of small bowel hernia. Yogurt is also good for digestion. Yogurt is a good thing, you can drink more, but remember not to drink with carbonated drinks, to avoid flatulence caused by abdominal disease, aggravating intestinal hernia.
