Patient's question:
Hernia occurs approximately every 3 months. Previously, when it flared up, the scrotum would protrude. Now, when it occurs, it protrudes from the inguinal area and is also hard. During the last episode, it was accompanied by symptoms of vomiting.Doctor's answer:
The only curative method is surgical treatment. The best surgical period for pediatric inguinal hernia is between 1 and 2 years old. Before the age of 1, conservative treatment such as using hernia trusses or hernia belts can be applied, but if incarceration occurs, emergency surgical treatment is necessary. After surgery, the baby's diet should be selected for easy absorption and rich nutrition, and it is important to avoid excessive factors that may cause crying. Hygiene should be noted in nursing.
