Patient's question:
This year during the Spring Festival, I discovered that the baby with intestinal hernia was only one year and three months old. Recently, he has been having frequent episodes, and the hernia is hard. What should I do? At this age, surgery is not an option, and I worry that the baby won't be able to get married when he grows up. What impact does intestinal hernia have on a child?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hernia can eat more qi-tonifying foods such as lentils, Chinese yam, chicken, eggs, fish, and meat. Additionally, they should consume more nutritious foods, as these can help the abdominal wall heal faster. Eating more oranges, kiwis, apples, and grapes can also be beneficial. Consuming more whole grains can help with bowel movements and prevent constipation. Limiting activity and avoiding excessive heavy lifting can temporarily relieve symptoms. Using hernia trusses or hernia belts can also provide temporary relief.
