Hernia in Children

WHAT IS A HERNIA?

A hernia occurs when a section of intestine protrudes through a weakness in the abdominal muscles. A soft bulge is seen underneath the skin where the hernia has occurred.

In children, a hernia usually occurs in one of two places:

• around the belly-button
• in the groin area

A hernia that occurs in the belly-button area is called an umbilical hernia. A hernia that occurs in the groin area is called an inguinal hernia.

WHAT CAUSES A HERNIA?

A hernia can develop in the first few months after the baby is born because of a weakness in the muscles of the abdomen. Inguinal and umbilical hernias happen for slightly different reasons.

WHAT IS AN INGUINAL HERNIA?

Inguinal Hernia
As a male fetus grows and matures during pregnancy, the testicles develop in the abdomen and then move down into the scrotum through an area called the inguinal canal.

Shortly after the baby is born, the inguinal canal closes, preventing the testicles from moving back into the abdomen. If this area does not close off completely, a loop of intestine can move into the inguinal canal through the weakened area of the lower abdominal wall, causing a hernia.

Although girls do not have testicles, they do have an inguinal canal, so they can develop hernias in this area as well.

WHO IS AT RISK FOR DEVELOPING A HERNIA?

Hernias occur more often in children who have one or more of the following risk factors:

• a parent or sibling who had a hernia as an infant
• cystic fibrosis
• developmental dysplasia of the hip
• undescended testes
• abnormalities of the urethra

Inguinal hernias occur:

• in about one to three percent of all children.
• more often in premature infants.
• in boys much more frequently than in girls.
• more often in the right groin area than the left, but can also occur on both sides.

WHY IS A HERNIA A CONCERN?

Occasionally, the loop of intestine that protrudes through a hernia may become stuck, and is no longer reducible. This means that the intestinal loop cannot be gently pushed back into the abdominal cavity. When this happens, that section of intestine may lose its blood supply. A good blood supply is necessary for the intestine to be healthy and function properly.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A HERNIA?

Hernias usually occur in newborns, but may not be noticeable for several weeks or months after birth.

Straining and crying do not cause hernias; however, the increased pressure in the abdomen can make a hernia more noticeable.

• Inguinal hernias appear as a bulge or swelling in the groin or scrotum. The swelling may be more noticeable when the baby cries, and may get smaller or go away when the baby relaxes. If your physician pushes gently on this bulge when the child is calm and lying down, it will usually get smaller or go back into the abdomen.

If the hernia is not reducible, then the loop of intestine may be caught in the weakened area of abdominal muscle. Symptoms that may be seen when this happens include the following:

• a full, round abdomen
• vomiting
• pain or fussiness
• redness or discoloration
• fever

Symptoms of a hernia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Please consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.

HOW ARE HERNIAS DIAGNOSED?

Hernias can be diagnosed by a physical examination by your child's physician. Your child will be examined to determine if the hernia is reducible (can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity) or not. Your child's physician may order abdominal x-rays orultrasound to examine the intestine more closely, especially if the hernia is no longer reducible.

TREATMENT FOR HERNIAS:

Specific treatment will be determined by your child's physician based on the following:

• your child's age, overall health, and medical history
• the type of hernia
• whether the hernia is reducible (can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity) or not
• your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
• your opinion or preference

Inguinal hernia:

An operation is necessary to treat an inguinal hernia. It will be surgically repaired fairly soon after it is discovered, since the intestine can become stuck in the inguinal canal. When this happens, the blood supply to the intestine can be cut off, and the intestine can become damaged. Inguinal hernia surgery is usually performed before this damage can occur.

During a hernia operation, your child will be placed under anesthesia. A small incision is made in the area of the hernia. The loop of intestine is placed back into the abdominal cavity. The muscles are then stitched together. Sometimes, a piece of meshed material is used to help strengthen the area where the muscles are repaired.

A hernia operation is usually a fairly simple procedure. Children who have an inguinal hernia surgically repaired can often go home the same day they have the operation.

WHAT IS THE LONG-TERM OUTLOOK FOR THIS DISORDER?

Once the hernia is closed, either spontaneously or by surgery, it is unlikely that it will reoccur. The chance for reoccurrence of the hernia may be increased if the intestine was damaged.

Back to Suhail.. Right after surgery.. he was in pain and kept screaming (as in my previous post http://mummyeda.blogspot.com/2011/06/ouch-ouch-ouchhhhh.html ) Around 1pm he started to walk around but only for an hour. The rest of the day.. he refused to walk until the next morning (today, June 14th).

We didn't give him any medication to relief his pain. He had a PCM supp during post operation..and that's all! We did request for it an hour after the surgery but the doctor ask us to wait at least  4-6 hours after the PCM was given. And.. by 1pm.. Suhail didn't scream nor having any pain complaint. So we just let it go...

As of today (14th June 2011)...

He was as playful and jaunty as ever. But around 3pm we noticed that he walked awkwardly and forbid us to touch his scrotum. Something was wrong....

Huh! It was swollen!!! Daddy gave him 5 ml of Brufen to relieve his pain...

The total cost for his operation and stays (mother & child - single standard) is RM3576.70 

Ouch Ouch Ouchhhhh!!!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Now everyone starts screaming just like adik.. heheheh
Mummy n Daddy have to repeat this line at an interval of 30 seconds. Ouchhhh!
Doctor gave him supp PCM after the surgery...

Adik had his plain water once he was in his room. And a bottle of milk. Have to wait till 12.30 pm to get another pain killer.

He's calm now. But Mummy and Daddy still need a battery operated hand ;P

Packing..

Mode: Busy..
Packing apa yang patut. Anak-anakkk.. tido dulu ya di petang-petang begini! Mummy sibuk nak mengemas n pack harta benda. Yang nak masuk hospitalnya sorang... tapi kena pack untuk 4 orang...

Beg besar bangat.. adik pon muat kalo tido dlm ni..
Ni tak kira lagi satu bakul susu..
Satu plastik bagak isi 'Toto" atau.. kitorang panggil "LIHAP".. er.. nama kat kedai dobi adalah 'comforter' ye tuan-tuan / puan-puan ;P

Adik dari semalam asyik tanya ...
"Daddy.. bila kita nak pegi hospital?"dengan mode excited.
Ececeyyy... ingat boleh bergumbira kat sana ke dik? Tak pe.. Daddy dengan sabarnya menjawab..
"Belum lagiii.. esokkk"
"Belum lagiiiii... malam karangggggg"
Semalam jugak.. the two boys had a hair cut. Of course dengan Aunty cantik itu.. orang lain tak mo!!! (Baca : MAMAK) Hehehe
Lepas gunting.. adik kata...
"Daddy.. nanti bila doktor tengok rambut adik, dia mesti kata adik encem!"
Hihihi... iye aje la dik... hari Isnin nanti.. Mummy nak tengok.. doktor tu baik ke lagi dihati adik ...

Sabtu.. daddy buat ikan n udang bakar. Mummy sediakan sambal kicap.. 2 ketul ikan pari, 2 ekor ikan talapia dan sepinggan udang laut. Ada ulam-ulaman.. sayur kobis + sawi masak lemak dan ubi keledek bakar.

Dua orang budak yang tak menyempat. Abis seketul ikan pari diratah begitu saja.

Lunch semalam. Licinnn. Tapi budak berdua attack ikan pari je.. ikan satu lagi diorang tak mahu. Hehehe.. kot tak.. Mummy ngan Daddy kena telan ulam aje la..

Hari ni... Makan nasi n sup ayam. Adik jugak mintak donut. Tadaaaa...

Empat adik n abang punya.. dua lagi.. Daddy punya! Adik n abang suka yang dua atas kiri tu!

Makan la puas-puas dik.. malam ni kita check in kat hospital. Adik kena puasa mulai 2 pagi.. 8.20 pagi dijangka ke bilik pembedahan.

Ya Allah.. hanya kepadaMu kami berserah...

Paeds Surgeon, Ampang Puteri

I don't have any mood to blog. They say a picture is worth thousand words...

Adik paksa Mummy posing.. sebab dia dah syok main kamera kat hp Mummy. Ni first time dia boleh usik / main hp Mummy.. kasi can kan adik?

(Ni Mummy dah crop bawah n kanan. Gambar blur la adik!)

Bak la hp Mummy tu adikkkk!

(adik jugak yg tangkap gambar ni.. Mummy dah potong sket kiri, kanan, atas n bawah ;P)

Doktor kata size does not matter. Cuma kalau adik complaint sakit.. maka kami perlu terus bawa ke hospital.

Bagi kes sebegini, doktor akan terus menyarankan pembedahan dalam masa yang terdekat.

Adik perlu di masukkan ke wad paediatric selapas Maghrib hari Ahad 12 Jun 2011. Berpuasa mulai 2 pagi dan insyaAllah pembedahan akan dijalankan pada 8.30 pagi Isnin 13 Jun.

Adakah adik akan terus di sunatkan/ berkhatan?

Tidak.. kami memilih untuk tidak melakukannya. Lagi pun.. kata doktor.. selalunya luka pembedahan hernia akan sembuh dahulu (2-3 hari) berbanding luka berkhatan (7 hari). Lagi pula.. it's easier to do it together with Abang.. tak perlu kami nak explain panjang lebar lak kat Shu'aib 5-6 tahun akan datang.. hihihi.

Doakan adik ya!

Mummy Risau!

Hati dikala ini sangat risau. Selepas Maghrib tadi.. Mummy bersiap nak keluar membeli baju raya anak2. Sedang Mummy pakaikan diaper untuk adik..
Jantung Mummy berdegup kencang.. terasa darah menyerbu naik ke muka.

"Eh! Kenapa bird adik bengkak ni Daddy? Sebelum ni Mummy tak perasan pon! (memang tak de..)"

Pic credit to Wiki

Nampak tak scrotum kiri yang membengkak tu?

Sorry.. Mummy nak share supaya pengalaman ini juga boleh dikongsi.

(terutama untuk anak-anak Mummy tersayang)

Daddy diam.. sambil memeriksa adik. Belum sempat Daddy berkata-kata.. Mummy terus berkata..

"Daddy, adik hernia ke?!"
"Hmmm.. inguinal hernia. Hopefully it's not twisted. If not.. doctor will have to perform emergency operation"

Ya Allah! Ya Ghafur.. Ya Salam!
Aku memohon kepada mu Ya Allah.. moga dipermudahkan urusan kami Ya Allah.

Esok kami akan bawa adik berjumpa Paeds @ Ampang Puteri. Doakan semoga Allah limpahkan kasih dan rahmatnya serta menyembuhkan.

Nota:
Daddy kata.. this problem is common.

Jalan-Jalan Cari Sarapan @ Sentul

1. Lambaian Seafood @ Sentul Boulevard

Menghidangkan sajian masakan Melayu seperti nasi lemak, mee goreng, bihun goreng, nasi goreng, roti jala, kuih muih dan kadang-kala juga terdapat pulut & kuah durian. Harga adalah murah-sederhana. Rasa makanan adalah enak.

2. Warung Pak Din @ Sentul Pasar.

Merupakan warung kedua (tengah) daripada 3 warung yang terdapat di sini. Di sini di sajikan roti canai, bihun sup utara serta mee rebus. Mee rebusnya enak walaupun dimakan setelah sejuk (ker.. perut Mummy yang lapar.. hihihi). Jangan letak expectation yang tinggi untuk suasana warung / keadaan fizikalnya. Bagi mereka yang tak kisah makan di warung tepi jalan.. bolehlah mencuba mee rebus Pak Din. Beliau berniaga bersama isteri.. dan Pak Din adalah sangat peramah orangnya dan bertutur menggunakan loghat utara (Kedah?).

Bihun sup utara. Gambar mee rebus Mummy lupa nak tangkap.. dah habis baru ingat ;P

Bagi yang inginkan kuey teow goreng yang disediakan berdasarkan order ketika bersarapan pagi, haa.. kat sebelah warung Pak Din (Mummy tak ingat namanya).. ada kuey teow goreng yang sedap (kata opismate Mummy ler.. ker.. diorang pun kebulur di pagi hari.. tak tau ler pulak kan?) Warung kuey teow merupakan warung pertama dari jalan utama (main road).


3. Warung makan @ Batu Muda

Nama warung Mummy tak ingat.. kata bos.. Warung Ismet kot (Sebelah Warung Ayam Dara).. hihihi. Macam mana nak ke sana? Cari SMK Batu Muda.. depan sket.. ada masjid.. masuk situ. Mesti nampak warung seberang jalan kat ATM Bank Islam tu. Kat sini pun macam-macam ada. Yang paling best...

Jeng jeng jengggg....

Tapai paling best di KL... seikat singgit aje! Seikat ada 3 ketul tapai comel...Memang sedappp!

Mummy makan roti telur banjir.

Nyesal tak tapau tapai buat stok.. huhuhu.. Daddy.. jom singgah sini! ;P
