Hernia symptoms in a 12-year-old boy?

Many children may be found to have hernia a few days or months after birth, even after the age of 4 or 5. If the tumor can not be returned to the abdominal cavity, abdominal pain will aggravate, crying, and then vomiting, abdominal distension, poor defecation and other intestinal obstruction symptoms will appear. Oval tumor can be seen in the inguinal or scrotum, with hard texture and obvious tenderness. If the incarcerated time is long, the skin can be red and swollen. If the intestinal tube can not be returned for a long time, there may be serious complications such as intestinal ischemia and necrosis.

Children's hernia is usually caused by cough, defecation, urination, crying, strenuous exercise and so on. There are protruding massive masses in the groin, and the masses will disappear automatically when lying flat or pressing by hand, or when the patient is quiet or sleeping, they will appear suddenly.

The small intestine is the most common organ in a child's tumor, so 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 addition to seeing or touching the lump, some children will have constipation, loss of appetite, vomiting and other phenomena, and some may become easy to cry, uneasy and so on. Scrotal hernia is too large will cause movement inconvenience, women with ovarian prolapse more, so often can feel like thumb big, hard and most of the tenderness of the mass.

matters needing attention

Children with hernia only need to open 1-2 finger size holes in the stomach, and they can go to the ground and be discharged one day after operation. For adult hernia, only three small holes need to be opened in the abdominal wall. The patient can be discharged from the hospital 2 days after the operation, and the daily activities can be restored 5 days on average. In addition, laparoscopic technology can repair indirect hernia, direct hernia and femoral hernia at one time. Therefore, compared with other surgical methods, laparoscopic repair is more thorough and achieves "one operation for life". For patients with recurrent hernia after traditional hernia repair, laparoscopy is a good news, because it avoids the previous operation area and solves the problem of reoperation of recurrent hernia.
