Can inguinal hernias in children still be treated?

Patient's question:

After ten days of birth, I noticed an inguinal hernia.
After ten days of birth, without any reason, there was previously a condition of inguinal hernia.
Treatment history and effectiveness: A hernia belt and hernia bag were provided, along with instructions on their use. However, the child's hernia still falls out at any time when they are in a hurry.
What kind of help is desired: Is there a better treatment available?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you have a child with a problem of hernia treatment. With the condition mentioned above, at this age, it is indeed possible to decide on external fixation treatment for hernia. If the treatment is rigorous, there is still hope for recovery. In the case mentioned, if the hernia belt treatment is ineffective, then after the age of 2, it will still not be possible to recover, and surgery for hernia repair will need to be decided. You should be cautious. Currently, you should actively use the hernia belt for the baby and persist.
