What is the treatment for hernia in infants and young children?

Hernia in infants and young children is often related to congenital factors. Most cases can be discovered 2-3 months after birth, but some can be discovered as late as 1-2 years old. Both boys and girls are likely to suffer from hernia. Currently, the treatment of hernia in infants and young children is relatively common. Here are a few small summaries I have made, combined with my own understanding, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Treatment of hernia in infants and young children: After suffering from hernia, the treatment plan can be selected according to the duration of the disease, the severity of the disease, and whether there are other diseases according to the following procedures:

1. Consider using a hernia belt to treat reducible hernia in infants and young children. If the condition is not too serious, about 95% of infants and young children can be cured using this method.

2. Most patients should consider surgical treatment, but it is also beneficial to use a hernia belt in time before undergoing surgical treatment. First, it can prevent the further development of the disease, and second, it can effectively prevent the occurrence of critical complications such as hernia incarceration and intestinal obstruction.

It is difficult to treat hernia in children because their organs and tissues are very small, and the vas deferens and spermatic artery are very vulnerable to damage. Hernia surgery may affect the patient's future fertility and cause infertility.

Guidance:

1. Children who refuse to cooperate with treatment and cry loudly after surgery may easily develop complications, have a high recurrence rate, and be more dangerous.

2. Surgical treatment of hernia in children often requires general anesthesia, which can easily damage brain cells and cause intellectual development disorders.

3. Therefore, children with hernia should try to avoid surgical treatment and choose to use specialized hospital drugs for professional guidance treatment as much as possible.

What is the treatment for hernia in infants and young children? The above is my understanding of the treatment of hernia in infants and young children. The specific treatment plan needs to be combined with the patient's own condition and targeted treatment should be carried out after examination. You also need to pay more attention to the baby's personal hygiene and nutritional supplements in daily life. I hope it can help you and wish you good health.
