Patient's question:
My child has an inguinal hernia. It's not crying when it's fine, but it comes out when it cries. The doctor said it needs surgery. The child is only one year old now, and they have to have surgery. The whole family is very nervous. I ask, what should be done about an inguinal hernia in a one-year-old boy?Doctor's answer:
Infantile hernia is caused by complex factors and may be related to congenital developmental disorders or local irritation. If the condition is mild, a hernia belt can be used for conservative treatment, avoiding crying or strenuous activity in the child, and regular follow-up is recommended. Severe cases require surgical treatment. Good postoperative care of anti-inflammatory hygiene habits can lead to recovery after a period of time. Drink more water, rest more, and eat less spicy, irritating, and greasy food.
