Patient's question:
My child is 16 months old. About 3-5 days ago, they developed an inguinal hernia. It's located below the lower abdomen and above the genital area, with a small, hard lump. It can be pushed back into place by hand when lying flat. I'd like to ask if pharmacies sell inguinal hernia belts?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Pediatric inguinal hernia mostly refers to inguinal hernia. It is caused by incomplete development of the inguinal canal muscle layer and increased inguinal pears. For your child's condition, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible and use small intestinal canal compression therapy under the guidance of experts. If the child cannot recover to normal after one year, surgical treatment should be adopted. Drink more water, rest more, and eat less spicy, stimulating, and greasy food.
