Should pediatric hernia require surgery?

Patient's question:

A two-year-old child has a large bulge every time they cry or have a bowel movement. They have been checked at the Oilfield Central Hospital, and it was said that there is nothing wrong, just wait a while and then surgery can be performed. However, it seems the child is still uncomfortable. Every time they have a bowel movement or cry, a large bulge appears, so there is some concern.

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of hernia, you can try combining Three-Layer Fennel Pills and Bu Zhong Yi Qi Pills, which usually improves. If it recurs frequently, surgery can be considered. Rest and maintenance are key. Children have weaker immunity, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, don't be impatient. It's important to take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be followed under the guidance of a doctor.
