When a child has a hernia, early treatment is necessary because if the hernia is not detected or treated in a timely manner, it is likely to cause the child's small intestine to protrude and cannot be retracted at the hernia ring, resulting in the occurrence of hernia entrapment. So, how can pediatric hernias avoid entrapment?
When a child's abdominal protrusion is found, especially in areas such as the thighs and lower abdomen where there are relatively soft lumps, timely assistance should be provided for reduction. Especially for younger children, umbilical hernia bands and other methods can be used to assist in treatment. If there is no recovery for a long time, surgery is necessary.
When a child's hernia becomes trapped, it can cause intestinal necrosis, leading to the development of gastric mucosa and causing abdominal pain. In severe cases, it can also lead to other complications, especially for younger children who are very weak and cannot tolerate any pain. Early treatment is the only way to recover from any illness.
Most cases of hernias in children occur in some boys, so it is important to observe the boy for any adverse symptoms after birth. If the child frequently experiences abdominal pain or even lumps, early intervention is necessary to ensure that the child has a healthy body.
