Patient's question:
My son has an inguinal hernia on the right side. Since the beginning of middle school, it has dropped every 2-3 days, and later it dropped 1-2 times a day. I used a hernia belt for him, but it didn't help. I thought about taking him to the hospital for surgery. What is the best way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Hello. Inguinal is a type of hernia. If the child is older than 2 years, surgical treatment is required. This generally has a possibility of self-healing within the first year. If it exceeds one year, it cannot self-heal. In your child's case, conservative treatment is ineffective. It is necessary to visit a pediatric surgery department for consultation. Treatment should be guided by local doctors. Follow the specific advice of local doctors.
