Nowadays, children are a, the whole family up and down the child’s attention that is meticulous, some parents will find that the child will appear in a bulging bag under the belly when crying, to the hospital to check the doctor will tell parents that this is a child hernia, here I would like to talk about the child’s belly under the strange bag in the end what is the case. First of all, the symptoms, this strange bag is generally parents in the child crying, bathing time inadvertently found, manifested as a small stomach below, near the root of the thighs of a prominent bulge, generally very soft, varying in size, with a hand push most can be back, the child lying down when the bulge will disappear, there are also a considerable number of boys bulge can be downward protruding into the scrotum. In rare cases, the bulge appears suddenly and cannot be pushed back, which is a danger sign and must be seen by the hospital as soon as possible. What is a bulge? Hernia in children! It is commonly known as a small bowel strangulation. The reason why children get hernias is because of congenital developmental problems. Childhood hernias are most common in premature babies and boys, but also, relatively rarely, in girls. The reason for this is because boys in the first month of life, the testicles will be from the abdominal cavity along the inguinal region down to the scrotum, and then the formation of peritoneal holes called sheaths, will be closed on its own, if the sheaths are poorly closed or not closed at all, in the inguinal region will be formed in the congenital hole, then the child is born, along with the development of the body will be the abdominal intestinal tubes or omentum from this hole! Drill out, in the small stomach below the manifestation of a to push back the bulge, this is the child hernia, in the child crying, standing, squatting force when the abdominal pressure increases, the bulge will be more obvious. In girls, the round ligament of the uterus is a part of the uterus, and hernias can also occur in individual cases. The age of onset of hernia in children is variable, accompanied by the growth and development of the child, several years old is possible, and some can develop in adulthood. The child should go to the hospital as soon as possible to find a doctor to confirm the diagnosis, the current principle of treatment for children’s hernia is not serious within 1 year of age can be conservative treatment, that is, to make a hernia similar to the tight little shorts like the hernia belt the child to wear, in the child cried when the parents consciously with the hands of the bulge of the position of the compression of the child, to be protected, part of the child has a possibility of spontaneous healing. If the hernia does not heal by the age of one and a half or if the bulge worsens, surgery is needed. Surgery is a simple procedure that involves finding the hole and ligating it with a wire, called a high hernia ligation! There are two ways to do this, either by open surgery, where the hole is isolated from the outside and ligated, or by laparoscopic surgery, where a small hole is made in the abdominal wall and the hole is ligated from the inside of the abdominal cavity at an absolutely high level under direct laparoscopic vision. Nowadays, laparoscopic surgery is used for children’s hernias. Although this type of surgery requires a high level of skill from the surgeon, the child recovers quickly, has a low recurrence rate, and has fewer side injuries. The cost is about 3,000 yuan, and you can go home after one day of hospitalization, without removing stitches or changing medication. Children with hernias cannot be repaired with ordinary polypropylene patches, which are often referred to as tension-free hernia repairs, because polypropylene patches have a certain contracture rate, and changes in the height of the child’s body as it develops and grows can cause pain. For children between the ages of 6 and 14 years old, the latest biopatch can be used because it can be degraded and absorbed. One condition that requires a lot of attention is when this bulge suddenly increases in size when the child exerts sudden force or cries loudly and cannot be pushed back! This is called an incarcerated hernia! This is a dangerous condition that can cause life-threatening necrosis of the intestinal tube, so it is important to consult a doctor immediately, and not to push the bulge with excessive force.
