Symptoms of gas in children

Hernia is a relatively common disease, and the incidence rate is also quite wide. Not only adults but also children will have this condition. It is quite common for children to have hernia. And when children have this disease, there are certain obvious symptoms. However, many people do not know its specific symptoms. So what are the symptoms of hernia in children?

Children are a high-risk group for hernia, and pediatric hernia is very common in pediatric surgery. Hernia in children is commonly known as "intestinal herniation" or "intestinal hernia". During the embryonic period, there is a "peritoneal processus vaginalis" in the groin.

What is pediatric hernia? Pediatric hernia is commonly known as "intestinal herniation" or "intestinal hernia". During the embryonic period, there is a "peritoneal processus vaginalis" in the groin. After some children are born, the processus vaginalis is not completely closed. When the intra-abdominal pressure increases, the small intestine, omentum, etc. in the abdominal cavity enter the processus vaginalis, which becomes a hernia. It may also be accompanied by diseases such as spermatic cord or testicular hydrocele.

The main clinical manifestation of pediatric gastric ulcer is a reducible mass in the groin area shortly after the child is born. Most of them appear at 2-3 months old, but some may occur as late as 1-2 years old. The general incidence of flatulence in children is 1-4%. The incidence in males is 10 times that in females and is even higher in premature infants. It may occur in the navel and on both sides.

Children usually have flatulence when they are crying, exercising vigorously, or have dry stools. There will be a protruding lump in the groin, which sometimes extends to the scrotum or labia area. The bulging symptoms usually disappear on their own when the child lies down or presses with the hands, but will reappear as soon as the hands are released. The hernial material can return to the abdominal cavity and the mass disappears. This condition is called reducible hernia.

If the tumor cannot be returned to the abdominal cavity and remains incarcerated for too long, serious complications such as intestinal ischemia and necrosis may occur. Hernia in children is very harmful and must be cured by surgery.

Currently, the most effective method for treating pediatric gastric cancer is through minimally invasive outpatient surgery.

Active hernia can shrink on its own, so conservative treatment can be adopted first. Generally, a hernia belt is used to support the hernia sac, reduce the pressure inside the hernia sac, and prevent ischemic necrosis of the hernia contents. Dry stools, constipation, and loud crying will aggravate the symptoms of hernia, so these actions should be avoided as much as possible.
