Diagnosis and treatment of hernia in children

Hernia in children often occurs shortly after birth, and also occurs after half a year. To judge whether the child is hernia, we can observe whether his groin or scrotum is swollen when he is crying. If the swelling disappears when the child lies flat or sleeps, or it can disappear completely after gentle massage with his hands, in this case, he can basically be judged to have hernia.

Differentiation between hernia and hydrocele

If there is a tumor in the groin or scrotum, it is necessary to judge whether it is hernia or hydrocele, both of which are common diseases. If the tumor is irradiated with a flashlight, it can be preliminarily judged as hydrocele. If the tumor is opaque, it should be considered as hernia. It is best to do a B-ultrasound examination, which can not only differentiate diagnosis, but also prevent other diseases from being missed.

Seek help from a regular hospital for examination

In order to avoid misdiagnosis, experts advise parents to take their children to regular hospitals for examination, such as pediatric surgery, urology and general surgery. Doctors can generally judge by medical history and physical examination. In order to make a definite diagnosis and know whether there is bilateral hernia, it is best to do another B-ultrasound examination.

Early treatment

Early diagnosis is an important prerequisite for scientific and timely treatment of hernia after children get hernia. In view of the child's hernia, our parents must take the time to go to the specialized hospital for symptomatic diagnosis and treatment of the child's hernia within the shortest time after the child's hernia appears. Only timely treatment can avoid the harm to the child's body after the occurrence of hernia disease.
