Patient's question:
When my child was born, he had a cough and developed an inguinal hernia. At that time, he was very young, and we went to the hospital outpatient department intending to have surgery, but due to lack of funds, we didn't proceed. My mother said to wait until I grew up to have the surgery. Could you please tell me about the treatment methods and costs for inguinal hernias?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a common type of disease. If it frequently occurs, it is still advisable to seek medical attention and undergo surgery, as surgical treatment is relatively thorough. The cost of hernia surgery varies by hospital, and the standards differ between second-class and third-class hospitals. Generally, the cost ranges from 2,000 to 3,000, plus hospitalization fees and bed charges. It should be around 4,000 to 5,000 yuan in total.
