What should I pay attention to after the surgery?

Infants are more prone to hernia. For some children, the symptoms of hernia will gradually ease as they grow and develop, and will heal without treatment. However, if the child is over one year old and still has not been well relieved, surgical treatment is required. After the surgery, parents must avoid strenuous exercise for their children, and they must provide adequate nutrition and pay attention to a balanced diet. Let’s take a look at what to look out for after hernia surgery.

1. After the operation, avoid strenuous exercise for the child, ensure a balanced nutrition balance, and prevent constipation in the child.

2. There is no need to lie completely flat, you can hold the baby upright or sit.

3. When bathing your child, keep the wound dry to prevent viral infection.

4. Change diapers frequently and keep them clean.

6. Follow the doctor’s instructions for regular follow-up visits and take medication on time.

The wound of minimally invasive hernia surgery is very small and the amount of bleeding is less. The patient can get out of bed and move around six hours after the operation and recover in about a week. The method of this surgery is to help the patient push the intestines back and then ligate the abnormal opening of the hernia in the patient's abdominal wall. The operation takes about twenty minutes and the patient will only feel slight pain in the wound after the operation.

If the baby's scrotum becomes swollen, there is obvious pain in the lower abdomen, and the pain spreads to the waist, back, ribs, navel and even heart, and if you touch the baby and find that the baby's hands and feet are cold, it is infant hernia. There is no regular pattern to the timing of the onset of these symptoms. Many babies get hernias, especially boys.

We usually call hernia "small intestinal gas". In layman's terms, it means that certain tissues and organs in the human body "do not follow the rules" and move. If they happen to be "not strictly controlled", those "runaway" tissues will stay in a place where they do not belong. There are many types of hernias, such as femoral hernia, indirect hernia, umbilical hernia, etc.
