Can inguinal hernia in infants be pushed back in and be fine?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I am very concerned, afraid that the condition will worsen. Is it okay if infant hernia can be pushed back in and not a big deal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, infant hernia generally can heal on its own. No treatment is needed within two years of age, and it is important to avoid crying and prevent constipation.
Immunity typically develops 4-8 weeks after vaccination, and it can last for 3-4 years. However, the success rate is not 100%. The World Health Organization (WHO) research confirms that the average effectiveness of BCG vaccination in preventing tuberculous meningitis and disseminated tuberculosis is 86%; the effectiveness in preventing tuberculosis-related deaths is 65%, the effectiveness in preventing deaths from tuberculous meningitis is 64%, and the effectiveness in preventing deaths from disseminated tuberculosis is 78%.
