What causes hernia in a child?
In the first few months of life, a baby can acquire a hernia. This occurs due to a weakening in the abdominal muscles. The causes of inguinal and umbilical hernias are slightly different.
Which children are at risk for a hernia?
Hernias happen more often in children who have 1 or more of the following risk factors:
Being born early or premature
Having a parent or sibling who had a hernia as an infant
Having cystic fibrosis
Having developmental dysplasia of the hip, a condition that is present at birth
Being a boy with undescended testes. This means the testicles didn’t move into the scrotum before birth.
Having problems with urinary or reproductive organs
What is hydrocele in children?
Hydrocele is a collection of fluid in a thin pouch that holds the testicles in the scrotum. One in ten boys suffers from hydrocele at birth. In most cases it disappears without treatment in the first year.
What causes hydrocele in Children?
For babies growing in the womb, the pouch is formed on the baby's abdomen (abdomen). It then moves to the scrotum with the testicles. After the pouch enters the testicles, it is sealed from the abdomen. However, in some cases this does not happen normally. Then it can cause hydrocele.
What are the symptoms of undescended testes in children?
When one or both male testes have not passed down (descended) into the scrotal sac, it is known as undescended testes. This is a problem that some newborn baby boys suffer from. In the majority of cases, only one teste is involved. About one out of every ten instances affects both testes.
