Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is two and a half months old. The day before yesterday, I had an X-ray taken, and it was diagnosed as a hernia. Can it be treated with minimally invasive surgery? Today, her appetite isn't as good, and the quality of her deep sleep isn't as good either.Doctor's answer:
According to the described situation, the male infant has an inguinal hernia and requires early surgical treatment. If an incarceration occurs again, it may lead to severe adverse consequences such as testicular necrosis. If the inguinal hernia becomes incarcerated again, it may result in poor appetite. However, poor appetite does not necessarily indicate an incarceration. Currently, inguinal hernia surgery can be performed through minimally invasive procedures in pediatric surgery. It is recommended to follow up early; if the baby has poor appetite, pay attention to whether there are signs of cold exposure or infectious factors.
