Patient's question:
Soon after the child was born, we noticed the condition of hernia. The child often suffered from it, and it affected both urination and defecation. We want to treat the child as soon as possible. Could you please tell us: How is hernia treated if it is detected through a color ultrasound at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
General hernias usually require surgery. In children, hernias are typically inguinal. If the hernia becomes trapped in the inguinal ring, it can lead to intestinal infection. For mild cases, a hernia belt can be used to apply pressure, but the recurrence rate with a hernia belt is quite high. If the hernia belt is not effective, surgery should be considered. This is a very minor surgical procedure. For severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above advice is for reference only. We hope the above information can help you. Thank you.
