What is the best age for children's hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

Sick for a year

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it is likely that the hernia is caused by the child's congenital weak abdominal wall, leading to the protrusion of abdominal contents outside the body. In some cases, pediatric hernias can heal on their own as the child grows older. Young children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
