Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old. The child has a big one and a small one below. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said they had a hernia. I haven't experienced this before and don't understand it very well. So, I want to learn more about it online first. What is the approximate cost of hernia surgery for children?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, this may be related to inguinal hernia in children. It is a congenital disease. It is caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close during the descent of the testis in the embryonic period. Inguinal hernias in children over 1 year old cannot heal on their own. If the umbilical hernia is over 4 years old or the umbilical cord diameter is 2-3 cm or larger, surgical treatment should be considered. Therefore, for this condition, the best treatment is surgery. The surgical cost is 45,000 yuan.
