Can the baby recover on its own without surgery if it has a smelly odor?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Currently too young to undergo surgical treatment, wearing a hernia belt on the abdomen is sufficient. It is important to teach the child methods to reduce abdominal pressure, such as learning diaphragmatic breathing, reducing crying, and avoiding constipation to decrease negative pressure. With gradual growth and development, the abdominal wall ligaments and soft tissues may strengthen, potentially alleviating the hernia effectively or even restoring it to normal. Surgical treatment can be considered if the hernia has not resolved by the age of 5-7.
