Hernia can seriously endanger physical health, especially for young babies who suffer from it. When crying, the negative pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, which can easily cause the hernia to be trapped and trapped. Therefore, it is important to prevent and treat pediatric hernias. So, what are the symptoms of hernia in babies?
1. Pediatric hernia is mainly divided into umbilical hernia and congenital inguinal hernia, and this is one of the more common diseases in children. Congenital hernia is the main factor in children, such as umbilical hernia, which is mainly caused by the inability of the umbilical ring to shrink and close. It is more common in premature or low birth weight infants and is often caused by poor growth and development.
2. The main symptom of umbilical hernia in children is a significant protrusion at the navel, which is particularly severe during crying. The formation of umbilical hernia is mainly caused by the discharge of substances inside the umbilical ring. If the umbilical hernia is more severe, it may also cause entrapment, which can seriously endanger the health of children.
3. Inguinal hernia in children mainly occurs in the inguinal region, with occasional or absent masses. Moreover, when standing or crying severely, this type of lump will increase the negative pressure in the abdominal cavity, and at the same time, the lump will appear more obvious or significantly larger. If the lump may disappear after the child lies flat or stops crying, it can also be reduced or eliminated by pressing.
4. Most pediatric hernias do not heal well on their own, so surgical treatment is necessary in the later stages. For younger infants and young children, conservative therapy should be temporarily adopted, and necessary surgical treatment should be carried out after the appropriate age for surgery.
