Hernias include a wide range of diseases, but the main term for hernia in children is “inguinal hernia”. Many people think that only boys get hernias, but in fact, girls also get hernias, but the number of cases is smaller, the ratio of boys to girls is about 3:1. When a girl cries or exerts force on her abdomen, a reusable swelling appears on the upper part of the outer lips of the labia majora, which is about the size of a jujube core to the size of a nightshade, then she must be alerted to the possibility of a hernia and go to the hospital immediately, and then she will need to be operated on, and the age of the operation is not limited. Once diagnosed, surgery is required, and there is no age limit for surgery. However, most doctors advocate surgery after 6 months of age. There is no other way to treat a hernia without surgery, and it is easy for a hernia to become incarcerated when a child cries, which means that the mass in the pubic area cannot be returned to the abdominal cavity, so it is important to go to the hospital immediately. If the incarcerated time is more than 24 hours, the intestines or ovaries may be necrotic, suggesting that there may be intestinal necrosis, and should be treated immediately with emergency surgery. How to prevent an incarcerated hernia? Parents must pay attention to several aspects of preventive measures: 1, usually avoid cold and flu, active treatment of respiratory tract infections. 2.Prevent constipation: eat more sparse vegetables, fruits, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements. Avoid and minimize crying for no reason. Lastly, it should be reminded that timely surgery is the fundamental preventive method.
