Surgery and treatment, symptoms and causes of newborns and children

Hello, I’m Gunburn Life. Today, I’m going to learn more about the hernia of Seohyebu.

What is Seohyebu?

The inguinal region refers to the region of the lower abdomen that connects the abdomen and the femur. This region is where the abdominal muscles are weak, where the internal organs or tissues can be pushed out through this weak region to form a hernia.

Causes of hernia in the inguinal region

The main cause of the inguinal hernia is that the muscle or connective tissue in the inguinal region is weakened under the circumstances of increasing abdominal pressure. This can be caused by innate factors that may exist from birth and acquired factors such as obesity, pregnancy, chronic cough, frequent constipation, etc.

symptoms of hernia in the inguinal region

The most common symptom of a hernia in the inguinal region is the touch or appearance of a lump in the inguinal region. The lump disappears when lying down and may become more noticeable when coughing or applying strength. Sometimes it can be accompanied by pain, and a hernia can cause severe pain and nausea or vomiting.

In newborns, a inguinal hernia usually manifests itself as an innate condition that already exists at birth. It refers to the protrusion of small intestine or other abdominal tissue through a weak area of the abdominal wall, which can be clearly observed, especially when abdominal pressure is elevated. A inguinal hernia is relatively light in most cases and naturally tends to recover within a year. However, when a hernia is jammed, that is, situations where the blood flow in the hernia is blocked, which can cause serious pain or tissue damage, require medical intervention. In such cases, rapid diagnosis and surgical treatment are essential, which is the best way to prevent potential complications and protect the health of the newborn. Parents should consult their pediatrician immediately if abnormal swelling or protrusions are observed in the newborn’s stomach. These measures are an important first step toward the rapid treatment and recovery of the newborn’s inguinal hernia.

A groin hernia in women is rare compared to men, but special care is required when it occurs. In women, a groin hernia can cause uterine or ovarian-related problems, so it is important to be aware of the symptoms quickly and receive appropriate treatment.

A inguinal hernia can be accompanied by pain, which is due to compression or inflammation of the hernia. Acute pain occurs when a hernia is stuck, which may indicate that an emergency operation is required. Regular checkups and a quick response to initial symptoms are important.

Surgery and treatment of hernia in the inguinal region

Treatment methods for a inguinal hernia mainly rely on surgery. Surgery aims to restore the hernia to its original position and reinforce the weakened inguinal wall. In this process, most patients reinforce the inguinal wall using a mesh, which helps to significantly reduce the recurrence rate.

Surgery for the inguinal hernia is typically performed under general anesthesia and can be performed through minimally invasive surgery (e.g., laparoscopic surgery), which can shorten recovery time and minimize pain. Laparoscopic surgery inserts cameras and surgical instruments into the abdomen through small incisions, which precisely corrects the hernia.

After surgery, the patient can usually be discharged on the same day or the next day, and antibiotics and painkillers are prescribed to prevent infection at the surgical site and to make a quick recovery. The patient should avoid vigorous activity for several weeks after surgery, and monitor the recovery process through regular hospital visits.

That’s how we learned about a hernia in the inguinal region. A hernia in the inguinal region is a fully manageable condition if you get the right treatment at the right time. The risk of hernia can be reduced through regular medical consultations and medical checkups, and if necessary, surgery can be used to fix the problem. It has been a constant life.
