Patient's question:
My baby at home just turned one year old and was found to have an inguinal hernia. Recently, it has been getting more and more severe. Could you please recommend some good brands of hernia belts for infants and young children? How long should a hernia belt generally be worn to be effective?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to serve you for hernia. We are also known as inguinal hernia, which means a part of the human tissue or organ detaches from its original position and enters another part through gaps, defects, or weak areas in the body. Hernia surgery is generally not suitable for very young children because the human skeleton is developing rapidly in children. It's better to wait until a certain age before undergoing surgery. Now that your child has grown, it's a good time to have the surgery.
