Patient's question:
Doctor, please help explain this issue. The best treatment for hernia does not affect the child's health. Is there such a good method? I've been worried sick about this and really don't want to see him suffer anymore. Please help the doctor look into it. Hello, what is the best treatment for hernia?Doctor's answer:
First of all, as a parent, don't be overly worried or anxious. Additionally, for infants and toddlers under two years old, inguinal hernias can completely heal on their own through gradual growth and development, without the need for special intervention. It's important to avoid reducing intra-abdominal pressure and to opt for conservative treatment. Your child is currently around one year old, so the hernia may not require surgery at this time. We can wait for it to heal on its own. If it doesn't improve, surgery can be considered after the child turns two. Surgery is the best treatment option for inguinal hernias.
