What should I do if I have a hernia and it often falls down?

Patient's question:

The child has a hernia and has been troubled recently. The lower abdomen is also swollen. The whole family is very worried about the child's condition. Please ask: What should be done if the hernia frequently falls down?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned is considered pediatric inguinal hernia, which is also a common general surgical disease in children and does not cause significant interference to health. In the early stage, it is generally treated with a hernia belt. Around the age of 2, surgical treatment is recommended, and there are recovery methods. If the hernia sac cannot be reduced, it may result in incarceration, which requires emergency surgical treatment. In fact, having a hernia is not at all; patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
