What about baby hernia? The secret of treatment

Recently, in the pediatric clinic, many parents found that the baby's navel or scrotum was swollen and soft to the touch, as if there was gas. This bulge is more likely to appear when the baby is hard, crying or defecating. In fact, this may be a hernia in children. Hernia is that organs or tissues in the body deviate from their normal positions and enter other parts through weak points in the body. So, what about the baby's hernia? Let's discuss the treatment together.

conservative treatment

Conservative treatment is a good choice. You can use a hernia band, or you can make a simple hernia band yourself, such as pressing and fixing it with a one-dollar coin and a wide elastic belt. Umbilical hernia can usually be cured by conservative treatment.

Surgical therapy

If the symptoms of hernia persist or worsen, surgery may be needed. Traditional repair methods use their own muscles and aponeurosis to strengthen the strength of abdominal wall; Tension-free hernioplasty uses artificial polymer material as patch to strengthen abdominal wall tissue, which has rapid postoperative recovery and low recurrence rate.

Prevention of hernia

Finally, remind parents to avoid crying, laughing and constipation for a long time and reduce abdominal pressure, which is helpful to prevent hernia.
