adults, especially seniors. And the little one still a baby can also
experience. The case of infant hernia was recorded even quite a lot, although his name seems quite beautiful, the hernia was
can cause harm. When kept silenced without proper treatment, even
can cause severe complications up to death.
dr. Cosmas adds, hernia is a protrusion of isis
a cavity through a defect or a weak section of wall cavity
relevant. When occurs in the stomach, stomach contents can protrude through the
weak. Most prominent is the intestinal organs.
Hernia is not hereditary. The process of occurrence of hernias in infants differ
with hernias in adults are usually due to muscle weakness
abdominal wall. While in infants, hernias that occur in the abdominal area due to
congenital disease or congenital.
In general there are two types of hernia, namely:
- Internal Hernia.
Internal hernias are in the body and can not be seen by naked eye.
Examples where diafragmatika hernia hernia due to the gap in
diaphragm (the muscle separating the chest from the abdomen) due to formation
diaphragm is not perfect. Another example is the esophageal hiatal hernia,
namely hernia occurs through the entry slit of the cavity into the esophagus that
chest, and many more other types.
- External hernias.
From the type of hernia is the most common is the inguinal hernia
appear in the groin and umbilical hernias that appear in the navel. Baby
generally have an external hernia which can be detected by naked eye due to
seen directly.
The process of external hernias in infants are usually caused by disease
congenital, the disease that occurs when a baby in the womb and are generally
no known cause. In general, baby boys more often experience
hernia than women because of the decrease in testis / testicle which
is the reproductive organ lasted more complex.
This hernia was more common in premature babies, because at the moment
birth process of testicular descent and the formation of ligaments has not been perfect.
• inguinal hernia
In male infants occur because of the failure process of closing bags
covering the testes. When in the womb, testes descended from the abdomen to
down and stopped in the scrotum (sac testicles). This reduction process begins
when the baby is still in the womb. When it comes down, the testes will bring
membrane of the stomach down to form a pouch. When born enough
month, generally the process of testicular migration is completed. However, in
some infants, the process of closing up to a ligament (connective tissue) are not
perfect run that eventually leaves the hole. Well, this hole
later can lead to herniation. If it only contains a liquid called
hidrocele. "In inguinal hernia, most commonly found on the right,
about 67%, the rest to the left, "explains Cosmas.
In female infants, a hernia occurs through a process like this: just as
baby boy, baby girl underwent the process of organ formation
the bottom is almost the same. But if a man undergo a process of decline
testes, the female does not.
• umbilical hernia
In boys and girls umbilical hernia occurs when closing
umbilicus (former umbilical cord) is not perfect. Supposedly, if closure
make umbilical remain open. When this happens, it will leave
hole so that the intestine can out into the area.
HOW TO DETECT
- Feeling the bulge
To note, lay people can only detect the external hernia, because
Internal hernia occurs in the body and difficult to detect. Detect the presence of
hernia in adults also is clearly more easily than in infants. When
eg waste water., adults can feel aanya bulge in the abdomen which
generally more pronounced. But in infants, although there was an uncomfortable
on his body, he could not express it clearly.
That is why hernia in infants is more difficult and require dideteks
accuracy parents. Although difficult, see and touch the groin or
the baby's navel. External hernia will generally be known from the appearance of bumps
on the page.
- Observing the symptoms
Clinical symptoms usually appear not much different from the diseases in
generally, such as nausea, vomiting, difficulty eating, and body fever. Because of this,
Cosmas urge parents to immediately bring the baby to the doctor when he saw
symptoms earlier, for child diagnosis can be immediately enforced.
Symptoms appear especially under heavy-light hernia:
Reponible: Lumps in the groin area or umbilicus appears to
outside the entrance (sometimes stand out, sometimes not). Bumps
This distinguishes the hernia from a tumor that is generally settled. This is a sign that
The most simple and lightweight that can be seen from an external hernia. Can
seen by naked eye and palpable, the groin, and umbilicus would
feels great next. Whereas in female infants, often found that
next big labia. The labia are the outer portion of the genitals
women.
• Irreponible: Bumps that there is already settled, either in the groin
and in the central region. In eg inguinal hernia., Water or intestine or
omentum (scaffold intestine) into the cavity that is open later
stuck and can not go outside anymore. In this phase, although the lump had
more settled but there are no signs of clinical change in children.
• Incarcerata: Lump is getting settled because it has happened
blockage on the food channel on the page. Not just a lump, a state
clinical infant began to change with the emergence of nausea, vomiting, flatulence,
CHAPTER could not, and would not eat.
• Strangulated: This is a hernia of the most severe levels since
blood vessels are pinched. In addition to the lump and the clinical symptoms
incarcerata levels, other symptoms also appear, such as fever and dehydration.
If kept too long ignored the blood vessels in the area. will die and will
accumulation of toxins occurs, which then spread to the blood vessels.
As a result, there will be sepsis is the circulation of germs and toxins in
in the blood that can threaten the life of the baby. Very likely the baby will not
can be calm because it felt incredible pain.
