How is the streak treated? Monitoring and surgery

The treatment depends on the form and nature of the rupture.

Umbilical hernia in young children ...

Umbilical hernia in young children is monitored. If there are no problems, it disappears on its own after the strengthening of the abdominal muscles.

Proper gluing is important. At the same time, the strip is folded with a cotton swab, which is formed into the correct shape to press only the navel area.

The skin forms an eyelash on both sides, which keeps the tampon and navel pressed in.

The wider part is pasted.

Stripe in older children can no longer be solved by gluing.

A professional examination is necessary, during which the doctor chooses the next procedure.

There is a low risk of a chronic lane that occurs without symptoms or with minimal difficulty. The application of the belt helps. It helps to strengthen the abdominal wall.

The opposite of conservative treatment is the surgical approach.

It is chosen in the case of a more complicated course and in acute hernia. An example is a bowel check and a streak that cannot be corrected by pushing.

The operational risks are the same as for each operation. The prognosis is good. Convalescence and short treatment time. The person is only in the hospital for a few days.

On the contrary, the risk is increased by delaying and neglecting the solution.

Various techniques are chosen during the operation, an example is:

network-free access
mesh techniques - the mesh strengthens the weakening point
open surgery - classic operation
laparoscopy - minimally invasive approach, faster recovery time

Prevention, which includes:

lifestyle change
maintaining a suitable body weight
strengthening of abdominal muscles and exercise
a diet rich in fiber and vegetables
sufficient drinking regime
limiting the lifting of heavy loads and mastering the correct lifting technique
do not smoke
treatment of prostate disease

The secondary medical school in Nitra gave me the basis for my career in the field of health and diseases. Thanks to it, I worked for 2 years in the traumatology clinic and outpatient clinic at the Nitra Hospital. Since 2006 I was employed in the emergency medical service, where I stayed until 2017. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra in the field of emergency health care. The bachelor's degree allowed me to continue my mission as a paramedic. In the meantime, I got a job at the emergency line 155. I have been working in pre-hospital health care until today. I had an interest in people, health and even diseases in my childhood, which gave me the prerequisite to pursue this topic in adulthood. Studying and acquiring new information in practice provided me with a great basis for writing professional texts, in the form of articles that can be understood by ordinary people. Thus, my interest in the Health Portal has a solid foundation in years of practice and personal interest. Similarly, I am also interested in healthy eating, nutrition and overall healthy lifestyle. I fill my free time with family and sports.
