Patient's question:
My child has recently been crying a lot. They also refuse to eat and sometimes don't have a bowel movement for a long time. I went to the pediatrician, and they said it's infantile hernia. It doesn't need surgery for now, just needs to be well-managed. What foods should be avoided with hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend. After hernia surgery, it is important to follow a light diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Consume more rough fiber foods. Avoid foods that are easily constipating and cause bloating. Fried foods like potato chips, shrimp chips, chocolate, etc., should not be consumed. Maintain regular bowel movements. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. In the first month after surgery, try to avoid standing for long periods of time. Work hard. Avoid increasing abdominal pressure. Factors.
