The incidence rate of hernia in children is very high. When the baby is born, it is best to give the baby a comprehensive examination to see if the baby has hernia. After confirming that the baby has a hernia, it is necessary to receive timely surgical treatment. So what should we pay attention to before a child's hernia surgery?
1. Fasting
No matter what surgery, there are always some things to pay attention to before the surgery. Especially for children undergoing surgery, they may need to fast before the surgery. Especially for hernia surgery, eating and water intake are necessary, starting about 4 hours before the surgery. It depends on when the surgery is performed to determine the fasting time.
2. Take a shower
Children cannot take a bath after undergoing hernia surgery, so it is best for parents to give their children a bath before the surgery. After taking a shower, children will feel more relaxed and better prepared for the upcoming surgery. Many children undergo surgery for the first time, and there may be some nervousness before the surgery. Parents need to give their children sufficient rest. And comfort the child, don't make them too nervous.
3. Communicate with doctors
Communicating with the doctor before any surgery is essential. Parents can first consult with a doctor to see what expected effects the surgery can achieve. Doctors will adopt corresponding treatment methods based on the specific condition of their own children. Before undergoing surgery, doctors will first seek the consent of their family members. The doctor will only perform surgery on the child with the consent of the family members.
