Treatment of inguinal hernia in girls

In children, there are two types of hernia:

• umbilicus,
• inguinal.

In turn, inguinal hernia can be straight and oblique. But since we are talking about children, for them is a characteristic oblique inguinal hernia.

The formation of inguinal hernia in girls, as well as in boys, occurs before the birth. When the genital organs are formed in the girl, the uterus initially is attached to the so-called. Two bunches, which allow you to keep it in a vertical position. Then they gradually fuse, resulting in a peritoneum, i.e., a tissue that envelops the organs within the abdominal cavity. After the required amount of time, the uterus descends to the place in which it should arrive in the body. But sometimes during the passage of these processes in children, in particular the girl remains so-called. Inguinal canal through which the exit of some internal organs under the skin in the groin area, ie, inguinal hernia is formed. The contents of the inguinal hernia most often become the bladder, part of the intestine, the ovary.

Detection of an inguinal hernia in a child.

If a child has a congenital inguinal hernia, it does not always manifest itself immediately. There is even the possibility that the hernia will not be detected at all, and eventually even self-destruct.

The main way to detect inguinal hernia in a child is the usual observation. The hernia that appears in the groin looks like a swelling, or as it is called protrusion, of a round or oval shape. To the touch, this formation is soft and elastic, and even gives in to adjustment, with a slight pressure, if in this case a small rumbling in the abdomen is heard, it means that there is a part of the intestine in the hernia. When a child cries or stiffens, the swelling visually increases, and when the child arrives at rest, decreases. Most often, the protruding hernia does not cause a feeling of discomfort in the child and does not hurt.

Treatment of inguinal hernia in young and middle-aged girls.

As already noted above, there is a possibility that the hernia in the child will pass by itself, and will not be visible. But this is not always the case, and sooner or later parents have to go to the doctor, or they try to cure her at home.

Many people, after listening to the good advice of knowledgeable people, begin to turn to wizards and various grandmothers who promise to cure hernia with the help of "conspiracies", etc. But I want to warn young parents who by all means try to rid their child of surgical interference, thatThere is a possibility that such healers will simply deceive you and it is good if their "treatment" does not lead to harmful consequences. There may be a situation where, with a congenital inguinal hernia, the passage to the hernial sac exists, but it is so small that it will not miss either part of the intestine or part of any other organ, but various fluids can pass through it and accumulate in the inguinal regionJuices ", available in the body, forming a dropsy, which is absolutely not dangerous and eventually passes. So these healers, thanks to their rich experience in this matter, understand that this is not a hernia at all, but in order to earn money they assure their parents that everything is in their power and will help them, over time dropsy passes, and the healer receives money "for a cured hernia."In order not to get into a similar situation, consult a doctor, at least in order to determine the correct diagnosis. But there may be less harmless consequences of addressing such people. The most dangerous consequence of a hernia can be its pinching, which can occur both with the strain of the child, active crying, and because of the wrong actions of the heifers.

The essence of the hernia is that the part of any organ, intestines( more often in boys) or the ovary in girls is pinched by the so-called. Herniated gates, in connection with which the blood supply is disrupted and if you do not take emergency measures, the clamped part of the organ can simply die off. It manifests itself in severe pain in the child, constant crying is the likelihood of vomiting. When pinching the only way to treat is an urgent operation.

If, when you have a hernia in a child, you consult a doctor, he can prescribe to you a conservative treatment, it is possible with a congenital oblique inguinal hernia in children under 4 years old. It consists in wearing special bandages, it is worth noting that this method is applied only to small children, since for more adult children, it will be completely ineffective. The main way to get rid of a hernia is surgery, because even a conservative method of treatment does not always bring the desired results. Modern medicine has the capabilities in which carrying out these surgical operations will be most painless and effective, the child does not need to spend a long time in the hospital after surgery, and the ability to impose cosmetic sutures prevents the need to remove them. As a result of the operation, the child has virtually no scars left.

But as mentioned earlier, many parents, discovering the inguinal hernia of a girl do not want to "put her under the knife," and resort to various recipes that can be found in specialized literature or the Internet.

Treatment of inguinal hernia in girls, folk methods:

• make poultices from steamed grass of the hernia,
• infusion from leaves of gooseberries 1 tablespoon for two glasses of water, insists 30 minutes and is taken 3-4 times during the day,
• broth, 20 gramsField fangs on a glass of water, boil for 10 minutes over a small fire, strain and add boiled water to make a glass, drink 1 teaspoon before meals three times a day.

But keep in mind that these recipes do not necessarily bring the expected result to you, and if the child is very small, it's better to consult a doctor, rather than experiment on it.
