Patient's question:
My child has been crying a lot lately. And he doesn't want to eat. Sometimes he also doesn't poop for a long time. I went to see a pediatrician. They said it's infantile hernia. It doesn't need surgery for now. It can be treated with proper diet and care. What foods should be avoided with hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend. After hernia surgery, it is important to follow a light diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Eat more rough fiber foods. Eat less foods that are prone to constipation and bloating. Fried foods like potato chips, shrimp chips, chocolate, etc. are not recommended. Maintain smooth bowel movements. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. In the first month after surgery, try to avoid standing for long periods of time. Work hard. Avoid increasing abdominal pressure. Factors.
