Question

What should I do if my child has an intestine prolapse? I have treated it before, but the results were not good. I would like to know if there are any other treatment options besides surgery, and what potential side effects surgery might have on the child?

Answer

Hello, this seems to be a symptom of an inguinal hernia. Please pay close attention to this issue and take your child to the hospital for a check-up so that they can receive treatment early on. According to your description, this may be a pediatric inguinal hernia. It is advisable to avoid situations that may increase abdominal pressure such as crying, coughing, and constipation in daily life, as these can lead to incarceration. At present, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is commonly used for treatment. We suggest you take your child for a detailed examination at the hospital to avoid missing the treatment window. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to undergo surgery. Please avoid making your child cry. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
