Patient's question:
My son just turned two months old. Recently, for some reason, he cries non-stop every night, and no matter how I try to comfort him, it's useless. My mother-in-law took a look and said it might be a hernia. I'd like to ask, what is a hernia? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
On the bed, a hernia usually refers to the contents of the abdomen that, through certain pathways, weakly protrude outside the body surface. This is relatively common in clinical diagnosis, especially in infants and young children, as their internal organs are still developing and not yet fully mature, making them more prone to recurrent pediatric hernias. Once a child is diagnosed with a hernia, some physical treatment methods can be used to regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
