Patient's question:
My family treasure, I noticed that it's very swollen below, and when I touched it, it said it hurts. I don't want to urinate often, and the examination said it's infantile hernia. Could you please tell me what the conservative treatment methods for infantile hernia are?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Conservative treatment for inguinal hernia involves bandaging the hernia with local compression. At the same time, it's important to actively treat underlying conditions, such as maintaining bowel regularity and actively treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made—avoid overeating, but focus on eating less, more frequently, and include more rough-fiber vegetables and fruits. Stay away from a smoking and drinking environment; it's best to quit smoking. Regular follow-up examinations, including abdominal ultrasound and chest X-ray, should be scheduled.
