Patient's question:
My child has been crying a lot lately and doesn't want to eat. Sometimes, he also has bowel movements very infrequently. I went to the pediatrician, and they said it's infantile hernia. For now, surgery is not needed, and it can be managed with proper care. What foods should be avoided with hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, after hernia surgery, it is important to pay attention to a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and consume more rough fiber foods. Avoid foods that are prone to constipation and bloating, such as fried foods like potato chips, shrimp chips, and chocolate. Maintain regular bowel movements and avoid spicy and irritating foods. In the first month after surgery, try to avoid standing for long periods of time. Work hard and avoid increasing abdominal pressure.
