Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 4 years old and has a hernia. It is said that he needs to have surgery. I hope the doctor can leave a contact number for consultation.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is caused by congenital developmental defects in the abdominal wall, and if a baby has this condition and does not recover by the age of two, surgery should be considered. If a baby with hernia does not recover by the age of two, there is a very low chance of recovery later on. Hernia can cause pain, may lead to complications, interfere with the baby's survival, and result in low self-esteem. For patients, if the condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent episodes. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers provided above can help everyone. Thank you.
