What is an inguinal hernia?
Small falling inguinal hernia, also known as pediatric hernia, is generally manifested as a small mass in the groin area that sometimes does not appear or sometimes large, and if the parent finds a small mass in the child's groin and asymmetry on both sides of the scrotum, it should be treated in time. If left untreated, it may lead to hernia incarceration, intestinal perforation, peritonitis, etc., and more seriously may lead to testicular or ovarian necrosis, affecting reproductive function, and even life-threatening.
Doctors caution that although pediatric hernias "favor" male treasures and premature babies. However, it is also common for female babies who appear to have a small hernia like a small drop. Since the girl's hernia is not easily detected, only the groin area of the sick side is slightly raised or a small mass is shredded. Once the hernia is incarcerated, that is, the hernia mass cannot be returned, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, anorexia or crying, and irritability may occur.
Most of the contents of the hernia are in the intestinal tract, and since some girls' ovaries do not descend to the pelvic cavity, the contents of the hernia can also be the ovaries. If incarceration occurs, too long can lead to ischemic necrosis of the ovaries or intestines, and then the risk of emergency surgery will be much greater. Every year, there will be cases of organ necrosis due to hernia and delay in treatment, parents must pay attention to the fact that once a lump is found in the child's abdomen, he should seek medical attention immediately.
"Parents must be aware
