Patient's question:
My little baby has developed a hiatal hernia. The surgery was performed last August. Then it recurred again in May this year. The child is still so young. We are very worried and concerned. I would like to know what treatment options are available for a hiatal hernia recurrence after surgery.Doctor's answer:
The little baby underwent an inguinal hernia surgery. They often cry out loudly due to pain, which subjects the surgical wound to the impact of intra-abdominal pressure. This can easily cause the wound to tear again, leading to a recurrent hernia. There is a possibility of recurrence after an inguinal hernia surgery. Inguinal hernias occur due to weak abdominal walls. The treatment method remains surgery. Post-surgery, it is important to rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Do not participate in strenuous physical activities for six months. Avoid coughing, holding urine, or difficulty defecating.
