Patient's question:
I gave birth to my baby about five or six days ago. When I went to the hospital for a thorough physical check-up, the doctor said the child has some hernia. There are two bulges on the baby's abdomen. As a new mom, I don't know what hernia in children is. Hello, does anyone know how to treat hernia in children?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can first use a hernia belt to re-bandage the weak area. Try to minimize the baby's crying as much as possible, as crying can lead to a decrease in abdominal pressure, which may alleviate the condition. If after the baby turns one year old, this lump disappears, it proves that the hernia gap has already closed, and there would be no need to consider surgical treatment. A hernia is primarily formed when abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak part of the abdominal wall. In most cases, it can heal within the first year of life.
