Many parents think that pediatric hernia is a "boy's thing", my family is a girl, will not suffer from hernia! The answer is that girls can still suffer from hernias, both unilateral and bilateral, mainly oblique hernias in the groin. Let's take a look at what the pediatric surgery experts of Changzhi Maternal and Child Health Hospital have to say!
Pediatric inguinal oblique hernia is one of the common diseases of pediatric surgery, and the main clinical manifestations are the appearance of a reversible mass in the groin area, most of which occur at 2 to 3 months, and sometimes occur as late as 1 to 2 years old. The general incidence of hernia in children is 1 to 4%, the incidence is more than 10 times that of girls in boys, and higher in preterm infants. The symptoms of pediatric hernia are more severe as the child grows and develops, and the amount of activity increases.
Pediatric hernia surgery is the first choice for women and children in Changzhi City. Parents and friends should pay attention to the child's "hernia" and treat it thoroughly as soon as possible to avoid aggravation of the disease and bring danger to the child; surgical treatment must choose a professional children's hospital, and must be carefully cared for after surgery to avoid recurrence. At present, the pediatric surgery department of Changzhi Maternal and Child Health Hospital takes laparoscopic surgery for pediatric hernia surgery, with small incisions, less bleeding and fast recovery, which is a very mature and effective treatment method.

If you find that your child has an abnormal situation, you must take your child to a regular, professional health care institution for active treatment, so as not to delay the best time for diagnosis and treatment.
