Patient's question:
My baby's hernia is the kind that comes and goes. Previously, we had been using conservative treatment methods, but the hernia still persisted. Sometimes it causes bloating and abdominal pain, making the baby cry and fuss. What could be the reason for a pediatric hernia that comes and goes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child is four years old and has a hernia. For mild cases, a hernia belt can be used for conservative treatment. It is important to avoid prolonged crying or intense exercise. Regular follow-up is necessary. The hernia belt should be worn consistently. If there is an aggravation of the condition or if the child experiences persistent discomfort and crying, surgical treatment can be considered. This condition is prone to recurrence, so proper care should be taken. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital.
