Patient's question:
The child is one and a half years old and has an inguinal hernia on both sides. The child is very thin and has frequently been stuck recently, unable to move. Can surgery be performed?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the inguinal hernia can be treated conservatively first, and surgical treatment can be considered around the age of 2. This is a curative method, while other methods cannot cure it. If strangulation occurs, surgical treatment should be promptly adopted. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to pediatric urological issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
