Patient's question:
Previously, it would go back up, only coming down when I wasn't feeling well. Later, it hardly went back up at all, and now even when I sleep, it doesn't fully go back up. But it doesn't hurt. Could you please tell me where to get a hernia repaired for children?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Pediatric hernia mainly includes two types: congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. The main cause of pediatric hernia is congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close, while umbilical hernia is due to the inability of the umbilical ring to close promptly. Premature infants and low birth weight infants are affected because of incomplete growth and development at birth. It is recommended that children of this age undergo surgical treatment, which is a routine procedure that can be performed in a general hospital.
