When is the appropriate time for the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia?

Patient's question:

The child of my brother has been hesitating to answer recently and often belches during dinner, sometimes for a long time. Sometimes he looks a bit foolish, like he has infantile hernia. Now we are very concerned about his health. Hello, what are the current treatment time and methods for infantile hernia?

Doctor's answer:

For pediatric hernia, the patient's age should also be considered. It is important to prevent excessive crying in children. Appropriate manual reduction can be followed by the use of a hernia belt for local fixation. Symptoms should be carefully monitored for relief. It is recommended to wait until the child is 6 months old before considering surgery to avoid increasing the risk of anesthesia complications. It is advised to choose a county children's hospital or a well-known hospital within the province for follow-up.
