Symptoms of hernia

The main symptom of hernia is in the inguinal area, where a mass can be seen or felt. Most of the babies were found by mothers when changing diapers, while the older children were found more when they were in the bath or in the health clinic. The most common cause is crying. Other causes include cough, defecation and urination. Older children can stand, abdominal force can also induce the emergence of mass, mass may only be seen in the groin area, some will reach the scrotum or labia. When the sick child is quiet or sleeping, it flickers. The mass is formed by the prolapse of organs from the abdominal cavity to the groin. Most of the prolapsed organs are small intestine. Therefore, it feels soft to the touch. When it goes back, it is often accompanied by a murmur. Other organs such as the large intestine, appendix and omentum may also prolapse. In women, ovarian prolapse is more common, so it is often felt as big as thumb, hard and most of them have tenderness.

In addition to seeing or touching the lump, some children may have constipation, loss of appetite, vomiting and other phenomena, and some may become easy to cry, uneasy and so on. Too large a scrotal hernia can cause inconvenience.

In the early stage of children's hernia, when children lie flat and quiet, the tumor can disappear; As the intra-abdominal pressure continues to increase, the mass can fall into the scrotum. At this time, if we can relieve the factors of increased intra-abdominal pressure, and let the child lie flat, or gently push the tumor to the abdominal cavity, the tumor can return to the abdominal cavity through the channel when the testis drops, and the tumor disappears, which is called reducible hernia.
