When is infantile hernia treated

summary

Last year, my wife gave birth to a healthy, fat boy. My family was very happy, but now the child, who is just one year old, suddenly found a hernia. My wife and I are very worried. Every time the child cries, we are always afraid that the child will hurt again. Now we want to give the child a thorough treatment. The doctor says that we must have surgery, But the child is still so young. Let's take a look at the following.

When is infantile hernia treated

First: the treatment time is very important for children's hernia. Generally, a child can find out whether there is a hernia within one year after birth. Just observe whether there is a mass above the scrotum when the child is crying or active. It's a little hard, and some will disappear after quiet. So sometimes parents don't know.

Second: a small number of children's hernia will slowly disappear, but most of the inguinal hernia will not heal itself, and with the development and delay of the disease, it will lead to the increase of mass, so once children's hernia is found, it should be treated in time, if the child is too young, it should wait until about three years old for surgical treatment.

Third: generally, there is no uncomfortable feeling after children get hernia, but when the condition develops to a certain extent, the package block falling close to the scrotum will affect the children's walking and activities, and when it is serious, it can not disappear by itself, it may be life-threatening, so treat it as soon as possible.
