Patient's question:
My dear son is 10 months old. Recently, I noticed small lumps in his abdominal area. When he lies flat, they disappear. I went to a small clinic, and the doctor said it's colic. I'm planning to go to a big hospital for a check-up. Could you please tell me which department to register for colic surgery?Doctor's answer:
Small intestinal hernia in infants is a common surgical condition. You can visit a general surgery department for treatment. Small intestinal hernia does not cause much pain without crying. For newborns under one year old, surgery can be temporarily avoided, as it may heal on its own. A small intestinal hernia belt can also be used to compress the deep ring for treatment. Even if it does not disappear on its own after the age of one, surgery can be performed for treatment, and it can be cured. It is recommended to rest. Drink more water and pay more attention to rest. Avoid facing the wind, and also eat less spicy and irritating food, as well as overly greasy food.
