Patient's question:
My child is one year and one month old. When the child was 10 months old, we discovered he has a hernia. Recently, it has been happening quite frequently. I just wanted to ask how old one has to be to have surgery.Doctor's answer:
Hello. The current condition of your child's hernia. It is mainly likely caused by an indirect inguinal hernia. Hello. Rest more. If it can be reduced back, surgery may not be necessary. If it frequently recurs, hernia repair surgery can be performed. Infant hernias are generally treated conservatively. They usually naturally recover by the time the child is one year old. Based on the current situation, the child is already over one year old, so surgical treatment is recommended.
