As a rule, inguinal hernia at children is considered the most widespread pathology in the field of surgery. It represents protrusion of various form and the extent of pathological character.
It should be noted that inguinal hernia at children consists of a hernial bag with contents and hernial gate. Most often the disease occurs in male babies. Insufficient development of a vaginal shoot which begins the formation on the 12th week of pregnancy can be the cause of pathology. The appearance of inguinal hernia represents the shishechka located in genitals (for example, at boys – on a scrotum), or an inguinal swelling. It should be noted that inguinal hernia at children is a congenital disease, and at the adult – acquired.
At emergence of any education or protrusion in a groin, it is necessary to address the expert who will be able to define diseases if it is inguinal hernia at children. Symptoms of pathological changes can be defined visually. And, as a rule, hernia rather soft and elastic therefore it is easy to set and save it the kid from painful feelings. Of course, the surgeon who will not allow infringement of hernia which has negative effect on a blood-groove of internals has to do it. Infringement arises in case of a perezhimaniye of hernial education.
At infringement it is impossible to set back, rather severe pains in a groin develop, the feeling of nausea, vomiting, is broken a chair, gas generation, etc. amplifies. A consequence of infringement of a hernial bag breaks not only blood circulation, but also there is puffiness of the damaged area that leads to peritonitis and perforation. Diagnosis of pathology includes a tool way (diafanoskopiya), a physical method (palpation of the patient), ultrasonic examination of the struck area of a children's organism. Untimely treatment and elimination of the reason of violations in certain cases lead to a lethal outcome of the child. It is rather difficult to define the nature of a disease to babies as they cannot tell about the feelings. Therefore at uneasy behavior, lack of appetite, temperature increase it is necessary to show the child to the doctor because it babies can have an inguinal hernia. Of course, at such age it is expedient to provide to the kid constant control of medical personnel, that is it is recommended to hospitalize in hospital or clinic. Even after reposition, inguinal hernia demands operational removal of a hernial bag from children. After operation, operation of the inguinal channel is restored. At observance of a bed rest and corresponding diet the seams are removed in a week. Of course, only the experienced expert competently performs operation that in the future there were no complications (for example, a recurrence and penetration of an infection in an organism). Optimum age at which appoint removal are 6-12 months. It is caused by the fact that the first steps render additional loading that leads to jamming of hernia. Many the parent at emergence of suspicions of surgical pathology hurry to find the folk healer who "exorcizes" hernia. But, as a rule, they are capable only of time to relieve pain. Further there are repeated protrusions, and the beginning of adhesive process only aggravates a situation, complicating work of surgeons during expeditious removal. Also there is a belief that inguinal hernia arises because the child long and strongly cries. Of course, it not so. Just at a strong hysterics the protrusion of hernia becomes more noticeable.
