Can a baby who is 8 months old have an inguinal hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

Here in the left groin area, because of the high activity during the day, it basically doesn't go back after coming out during the day and only returns when sleeping at night. It feels quite bulging whenever I see it during the day. Can a baby undergo an inguinal hernia surgery at eight months?

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, it is a great pleasure to serve you. The baby can undergo a small intestine gas surgery at 8 months. The child has repeatedly experienced small intestine gas accumulation. Surgical treatment should be performed as early as possible. The current condition of the child is suitable for surgery because the child is still young. It is recommended to go to the provincial children's hospital for pediatric urological surgery. At the same time, the urban resident medical insurance can serve as a new rural cooperative medical system, but the diagnostic procedures must be improved.
