POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. I am not a medical professional, but inguinal hernias in infants are relatively common. An inguinal hernia occurs when part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, leading to a bulge in the groin or scrotum.
If you suspect your 17-month-old baby has an inguinal hernia, it's crucial to consult with a pediatrician promptly. Some common signs and symptoms of inguinal hernias in infants may include:
1. **A visible bulge:** This may be more noticeable when the baby is crying or straining.
2. **Crying or fussiness:** The baby might show signs of discomfort or pain.
3. **Swelling or a lump in the groin or scrotum area:** This may be more evident during certain activities like crying or straining.
The pediatrician will perform a physical examination and may recommend additional tests, such as an ultrasound, to confirm the diagnosis. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to repair the hernia, particularly if it is causing discomfort or if there's a risk of complications.
It's essential not to attempt to push the bulge back into place yourself, as this can be dangerous. Prompt medical attention is crucial to ensure the proper diagnosis and management of an inguinal hernia in a child.
Always seek advice from a healthcare professional for accurate information and guidance tailored to your baby's specific situation.
