Patient's question:
My little baby has developed a hiatal hernia. He had surgery for it last August, and it has recurred again this May. The child is still so young, and we are very worried and concerned. I would like to know what treatment options are available for a hiatal hernia that recurs after surgery.Doctor's answer:
After the surgery for a small baby with hydrocele, they often cry out loudly due to pain, which can cause the surgical wound to be impacted by intra-abdominal pressure, making it very easy to re-tear the wound and lead to a recurrent hernia. Hydrocele surgery has a risk of recurrence. Since hydrocele is caused by weak abdominal wall, the treatment method is still surgery. After the surgery, pay attention to rest and avoid being too tired or exhausted. Do not participate in strenuous exercise for six months, avoid coughing, holding urine, or difficulty defecating.
