Many times, mothers may find a lump like object in the scrotum while bathing their children. At this time, they need to be vigilant because it is likely to be inguinal hernia. So, how should a 2-year-old baby with hernia be treated?
Usually, children are prone to hernias, which are related to increased intra-abdominal pressure and weak abdominal walls, often manifested as lumps and discomfort in the groin area. A two-and-a-half-year-old baby has a hernia. If the condition is not very serious, surgery is generally not considered for now, and the method of using a hernia band can be tried first.
However, it is unlikely for a two-and-a-half-year-old child to self heal by wrapping the hernia hole with a hernia. This method is generally more suitable for babies under one year old. So if this method doesn't work, then surgical treatment needs to be considered. Nowadays, with the development of medical technology, hernias can be cured through simple laparoscopic surgery, and the scars left behind are not very large. Does not affect future aesthetics.
In addition, after a child develops a hernia, it is important to be careful not to let them do any actions that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as holding their breath, coughing, forcefully defecating, or crying, because the increase in pressure can worsen the condition, which may lead to more dangerous situations. At this time, parents need to be by their side to comfort the child as much as possible and prevent him from being overly nervous and afraid.
