What size of inguinal hernia in children is best for surgery?

Patient's question:

It started about three months ago...................What should I do

Doctor's answer:

Hello: If a child experiences a recurrence of hernia, it is generally possible for it to heal on its own within the first year of life. If the child is under one year old, surgical treatment is usually necessary to achieve the goal of self-healing.
Advice: Therefore, it is generally recommended that if surgery is considered, it should be delayed until after the child is one year old. Additionally, surgical procedures in children are generally more prone to complications and postoperative care difficulties. Otherwise, there are usually no other significant impacts.
How old is the child currently? Can it return on its own after falling down?
