Patient's question:
My precious son is only 5 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he doesn't play and cries very often. The hospital checked and found that my child has an inguinal hernia. They said this condition requires surgical treatment. The child is so young, and I feel too heartbroken to have him undergo open surgery. Is there a minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Hernia can be treated through minimally invasive surgery. The healing process is relatively quick, with minimal trauma, and the recovery time is approximately one week. It has no significant impact on future health, and the surgical risk is low, so there's no need to worry excessively. In your daily diet, it's important to maintain variety, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to keeping warm. Regular outdoor sports and physical activities are beneficial for healthy development.
