What is a Pediatric Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. In children, the most common types of hernias are:
Inguinal Hernia: Occurs in the groin area; more common in premature male infants.
Umbilical Hernia: Appears as a soft bulge near the belly button.
Incisional Hernia: Can develop after previous abdominal surgery.
Causes & Risk Factors
Pediatric hernias are often congenital (present at birth) and may result from:
Incomplete closure of the abdominal wall during fetal development
Prematurity
Family history of hernias
Previous abdominal surgery
Symptoms
Visible bulge in the groin or belly area, especially when the child cries or strains
Pain or discomfort, particularly when coughing, crying, or standing
Swelling or tenderness
Incarceration (trapped hernia) – a medical emergency with vomiting, redness, and severe pain
