Symptoms and prevention of inguinal hernia in children
Inguinal hernia in children is a common disease, and parents need to know some relevant knowledge in order to find and prevent it in time.

Tumor protrusion

The child will have a lump in his groin. It is more prominent when the child is crying, and some children can return it when it is quiet.

Timely medical treatment

Family members should observe whether the tumor is prominent, and if so, whether it will recur in the short term. If the tumor sticks out for a long time and doesn't return after 12 or 24 hours, you should go to the hospital in time. Otherwise, the child's intestines will be in danger of strangulation and necrosis, and even have to undergo enterotomy.

Avoid premature delivery

Because inguinal hernia is mostly congenital, it is very important to avoid premature delivery. In addition, if the child's nutritional status can keep up, the abdominal wall will be stronger accordingly. If you have inguinal hernia, you should insist on taking your child to the pediatric clinic for health care, so that the doctor can assess whether the baby's inguinal hernia needs surgical intervention in time.
