Patient's question:
My son has a right inguinal hernia. Since the beginning of middle school, it has dropped 2-3 times every 2-3 days. Later, it dropped 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. How should it be treated?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 the possibility of self-healing within the first year. If it exceeds one year, it cannot self-heal. In your child's case, conservative treatment is ineffective. It is necessary to visit a pediatric surgery department for consultation. Treatment should be guided by the local doctor. Follow the specific advice of the local doctor.
