Hello, I would like to ask if a 15-month-old baby can have surgery?

Patient's question:

Less than two months When crying severely, it's very big

Doctor's answer:

Inguinal hernia cannot heal on its own and may lead to incarceration or strangulation, so surgical treatment is necessary. However, for children under one year old, the abdominal wall strength increases with growth and development, and there is a possibility of spontaneous healing, so surgery can be postponed.
