We all know that girls can also have hernias, which is a common disease. If left untreated, the harm to the child will be significant. Usually, it is necessary to wait until the age of three to go to the hospital for targeted treatment. During this process, some babies' hernias may disappear, but some babies require surgical treatment. So, what are the symptoms of hernias in female babies?
1. Shortly after birth, a reversible lump will appear in the groin of the child. After a baby develops a hernia, there is usually a noticeable lump protruding from the groin during crying or vigorous exercise, sometimes extending to the scrotum or labia. The lump will disappear when the baby is lying flat and pressed with their hand.
2. If the lump cannot return on its own, the symptoms of abdominal pain will significantly increase, with constant crying, vomiting, bloating, constipation, and other symptoms. The texture is hard, soft, and obvious, and the skin may be red and swollen. If the intestine cannot be returned for a long time, serious complications such as intestinal necrosis may occur.
3. At the same time, if a female baby suffers from hernia and the lump cannot be retracted, she may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting, persistent crying, loss of appetite, and restlessness. Parents should always observe their baby's performance, seek medical attention promptly if symptoms are severe, and receive targeted treatment under the doctor's instructions. If the condition is severe, surgery may be necessary if necessary.
