Hernia in children is a common condition. After a child is diagnosed, many parents do not know if the hernia is severe, but the child's resistance is insufficient and the body is relatively weak. Parents will worry about the danger. So does the little girl need treatment for hernia?
A little girl has a hernia that needs treatment. If the hernia is mild and the child is under one year old, there is a possibility of self-healing. If the child is already quite old, surgical treatment is needed because conservative treatment cannot recover. Surgical treatment for hernia is very thorough, and if left untreated, it may recur. The condition may become more severe.
When a child is found to have a hernia, it is mainly due to feeling a lump or seeing a lump in the child's abdomen, which is very obvious when crying. It is recommended to have the child lie flat and then press the lump with their hand, so that the hernia can be restored to the abdominal cavity. Children can wait until one year old before treatment, as there is a possibility of self-healing.
Children undergoing hernia surgery usually do not cooperate like adults, so the surgery needs to be performed under general anesthesia. It is recommended to choose a reputable hospital for surgery in order to feel at ease. Nowadays, many hospitals have good conditions and can perform minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for treatment. The surgical incision is very small, and it is not easy to recur after surgery, which is a good treatment method.
