What should I do if my baby has a hernia?

Patient's question:

My baby is one month old, but I don't know if he will get an inguinal hernia. Is it because we didn't protect the baby well? So, what are the general causes of inguinal hernia? Hello, what should I do if I get an inguinal hernia? How can it be resolved better? I am looking for an answer from a doctor. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

For pediatric hernia, it can be appropriately adjusted according to its severity. After local manual reduction, a hernia belt is used for fixation. If acute recurrence symptoms are reduced and significant improvement is achieved, there is a possibility of spontaneous resolution. If the condition progressively worsens again, or shows no significant improvement, it is necessary to determine an appropriate time for surgical intervention, with clinical diagnosis recommended. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
