In clinical practice, we meet many parents who ask: What are the risks if a child with inguinal hernia is not operated? Good. Today, we will talk about the possible hazards caused by inguinal hernia. First: it may affect the child’s diet and even the growth and development! Because the hernia contents of inguinal hernia are often the intestinal canal (that is, the mass protruding from the groin or scrotum is the intestinal canal), so if a larger inguinal hernia contains more intestinal canal, and after the intestinal canal leaves its normal physiological position, it will affect the function of the intestinal canal to digest food and absorb nutrients! So it has an effect on the digestion and absorption function of children. Second: It causes abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, and in serious cases, it may cause intestinal necrosis. Because when the child cries, coughs or defecates, the pressure in the abdominal cavity suddenly rises, causing more intestinal tubes to protrude into the groin or scrotum, and because the intestinal tubes protrude too much and cannot be recovered by themselves (just like a finger wearing a smaller ring that cannot be taken off), this causes an incarcerated inguinal hernia. If the intestinal canal is stuck, the first thing that happens is that the child will have abdominal pain and crying, which will lead to abdominal distention and vomiting, and if treated in time, it will lead to intestinal necrosis and endanger life. So we must pay attention to the changes in the child. Third: It may affect the testicular development. Especially the long-term protruding groin and testicular syringomyelia may affect testicular development in serious cases. So parents should pay attention to the fact that inguinal hernia in children is still quite harmful if not treated. And it is recommended that: the surgery choose laparoscopic minimally invasive treatment Oh!
