Neonatal hernia symptoms

summary

Hernia is not a kind of gas, but a part of a human organ or organ that breaks through the cavity wall from the original cavity to another cavity. As for the most common hernia in pediatrics, there are two kinds: umbilical hernia and inguinal hernia. Let's talk about the symptoms of neonatal hernia

Neonatal hernia symptoms

Inguinal hernia is almost undetectable under normal circumstances. When children cry, cough or force, you can see groin "Peng" out. Some children's "Pengchu" is soft in part, while others are hard. Most of them can be pressed down gently with their hands. Unless it is clamped, the blood vessels or intestines in the hernia have been twisted, generally it will not hurt.

Umbilical hernia usually occurs in infancy. It's especially obvious when babies cough and cry. The reason for the formation of umbilical hernia is that the remaining atresia in the late development of abdominal wall is poor and has not been closed well. There is a higher incidence of this hernia in black and low birth weight preterm infants.

3. Some umbilicus hernias are very small and some are very large. The diameter of the annulus fibrosus can be 1 cm, which can only accommodate the next little finger, or it can be 5 cm. The contents of hernia may be omentum or small intestine. But umbilical hernia is easy to go back, twisting or clamping, so that the chance of necrosis inside things, very little.

matters needing attention

Except for a few infants with hernia, most inguinal hernia can't heal itself. With the delay of the disease, hernia mass gradually increases, which will bring difficulty to the treatment. Moreover, inguinal hernia is prone to incarceration (hernia mass is stuck and cannot be returned) and strangulation, and even endanger the safety of patients! Therefore, except for a few special cases, children with hernia should receive thorough treatment as soon as possible.
