Newborns need too much care from mothers because their resistance is still weak at this time, and if they are not careful, they will get sick. Hernia is a common neonatal disease nowadays, and timely detection and diagnosis of hernia can alleviate the pain of babies. So, what are the symptoms of a baby's hernia?
Babies with hernias are generally premature or underweight, and of course, newborn babies are also prone to this disease, with male babies having a higher chance of getting it. The main symptom of babies with hernias is the appearance of lumps in the abdomen or navel. The size of the lump will increase with the baby's behavior and movements, such as crying, sudden standing, etc. The lump will also increase with age.
In general, the discomfort caused by hernias can be relieved by compression, and maintaining a lying position regularly can help eliminate lumps. The impact of hernia in the early stages is not significant, and only in the later stages will obvious symptoms appear, such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and low nutrient absorption capacity. As the size of the lump gradually increases, it can be clearly observed that the baby's organ development is affected, and in severe cases, it can also affect their reproductive ability.
When a mother discovers a lump in her baby's abdomen, she should promptly press the lump to make it disappear and heal on its own. If the lump cannot be relieved, she should immediately take the baby to the hospital for treatment to avoid delaying the condition and affecting the baby's safety and health.
