Patient's question:
The baby is two weeks away from being one month old. A few days ago, we just discovered a hernia. When the baby strains or cries, there are large lumps on both sides. When the baby lies flat and we press the area with our hands, sometimes the lump goes back in, and sometimes it doesn't. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
How old is the baby now? If it is confirmed to be a hernia, if it can be completely restored, you can wait and see. If it does not return, you need to go to the hospital. If the pediatric surgeon in the hospital cannot restore it through manual reduction, it should be considered an incarcerated hernia, and surgery is needed for rescue. If it cannot return for too long, there is a fear of intestinal necrosis. In addition to medication for treatment, the patient also needs to pay attention to diet, such as eating light, avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment, so as to obtain a good therapeutic effect.
