Patient's question:
My dear son is 5 years old this year. Two days ago, he was diagnosed with a hernia at the hospital. But I don't know if it will harm his body, so I want to ask what are the harms of a hernia to the body?Doctor's answer:
Children with inguinal hernia can be treated conservatively with small intestinal airway therapy. However, if conservative treatment is not effective, it may increase the difficulty of surgery. Inguinal hernia occurs when the small intestine drops into the inguinal canal, and if it does not disappear within 6 hours, it may also be accepted as the possibility of intestinal obstruction and necrosis. Therefore, if it drops down, it is impossible to stand up again. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to avoid intestinal adhesion and necrosis.
