Hernia surgery usually has a sense of urgency, as most children in the neonatal period need to undergo this surgery. However, this surgery is usually not complicated and the recovery is relatively fast. Therefore, a few days after pediatric hernia surgery, the stitches are removed
Under normal circumstances, hernia surgery for infants and young children takes about ten days to two weeks for postoperative recovery, and regular wound dressing and suture removal are also required during this period. Older children may have a faster time to have their stitches removed, while children who have recovered can have their stitches removed and disinfected within a week. However, children with slower recovery may take two weeks or more to meet their nutritional needs, which can mostly help their babies recover healthily.
However, some parents are not familiar with the symptoms of pediatric hernia and are not clear about what illness their child suddenly feels uncomfortable with. In fact, the onset time of pediatric hernia is not stable. This condition may erupt at the very beginning of a child's birth, but it is also relatively easy to treat at this time, or it can slowly recover with growth. Some hernias may occur months or even years after the child is born.
At this time, parents often fail to respond in a timely manner, which delays their children's treatment time. When a baby develops a hernia, there will be obvious physical discomfort. If the baby suddenly cries for no reason, parents need to touch the child's groin to see if there is a strange protrusion. Or the child may experience a series of constipation, abdominal pain and swelling, which are all things parents need to pay attention to.
