Patient's question:
My son has always been particularly prone to crying since he was a child. Due to his intense crying, he developed an inguinal hernia. Now, his hernia has become quite severe, and we are planning to take him to the hospital for treatment. Therefore, I would like to consult with a doctor—how is the best way to treat pediatric hernias?Doctor's answer:
For children with inguinal hernia, it is also necessary to pay attention to preventing excessive crying in children. Appropriately decide to use manual reduction after onset, and use a hernia belt for fixation for 2~3 courses of treatment, carefully observe how the symptoms are relieved. If necessary, there may be recurrence of aggravation or jointless phenomena, and it is necessary to decide on surgery for treatment as soon as possible. It is necessary to pay attention to preventing straining during defecation, long-term acute and chronic cough, and strenuous exercise, etc.
