There is a small lump on the child's genitals?

If a child has a small lump on his genitals, it is likely caused by eczema or allergies. Parents should pay attention to it because the genitals are a relatively special part. If it is not taken seriously and the disease worsens, it will not only make treatment more difficult, but may also affect the child's physical health. Pay more attention to observing the child. If it cannot be cured for a long time, be sure to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Symptoms of hernia in children include:

1. Symptoms of hernia in children: In the early stage of the disease, the swelling may disappear when the child lies flat and quiet; as the intra-abdominal pressure continues to increase, the swelling may drop into the scrotum. At this time, if the factors causing increased intra-abdominal pressure can be eliminated, and the child can be made to lie flat, or the swelling can be gently pushed toward the abdominal cavity, the swelling can return to the abdominal cavity through the channel through which the testicle descends, and the swelling disappears. This situation is called reducible hernia.

2. If the tumor cannot be returned to the abdominal cavity, abdominal pain will be aggravated, crying will continue, and then vomiting, abdominal distension, difficulty defecation and other intestinal obstruction symptoms will appear. An oval tumor can be seen in the groin or scrotum, with a hard texture and obvious tenderness. If the incarceration time is long, the skin can be seen red and swollen. If the intestine cannot be returned for a long time, serious complications such as intestinal ischemia and necrosis may occur, which are also symptoms of hernia in children.

3. Children's hernia usually occurs when the child is crying, exercising vigorously, or has dry stools. There will be a protruding mass in the groin, which sometimes extends to the scrotum or labia area. It will disappear on its own when the child lies flat or presses with the hands. These are all symptoms of pediatric hernia.

If a child has hernia, parents should take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment immediately. Some parents are indifferent to their children and fail to deal with it in time. This is not only a disease for the child, but also life-threatening.

How can hernia be prevented?

1. Maintain a healthy weight.

2. Prevent increased abdominal pressure:

(1) Avoid pushing, lifting, or pulling heavy objects

(2) Reduce crying

(3) Drink more water and eat more high-fiber foods to promote smooth bowel movements and prevent constipation.

(4) Quit smoking to prevent respiratory infections and chronic cough.

3. Keep strengthening abdominal muscle exercises.

4. Ensure that the small intestine does not impact the hernia annulus so that the hernia annulus can be treated.
