Patient's question:
My son has a right inguinal hernia. Since the beginning of middle school, it has come down 2-3 times every 2-3 days, and later it came down 1-2 times a day. I used a hernia belt for him, but it didn't work. I thought about taking him to the hospital for surgery. What is the best way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hello. Inguinal hernia is a type of hernia. If the child is older than 2 years, surgical treatment is required. This generally has a possibility of self-healing within the first year, but if it exceeds one year, it cannot self-heal. In the case of your child, conservative treatment is ineffective, and it is necessary to visit a pediatric surgery department for treatment under the guidance of local doctors. Follow the specific advice of the local doctor.
