Patient's question:
My dear son is 5 years old this year. A couple of days ago, he was diagnosed with a hernia at the hospital. However, I don't know if it will cause harm to his body. I'd like to ask what harm does a hernia do to the body?Doctor's answer:
Children with inguinal hernia can be treated conservatively with small intestinal airway. However, if conservative treatment with small intestinal airway is not adopted, it will increase the difficulty of surgery. Inguinal hernia occurs through the inguinal canal and cannot disappear within 6 hours. It can also be accepted that there is a possibility of intestinal obstruction and necrosis. So if it falls down, it is impossible. It stands up again. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible. Avoid intestinal adhesion and necrosis.
