Patient's question:
The child has a hernia. When the hernia recurs, they are particularly prone to crying. Now, I want to give the child conservative treatment, and the doctor also recommends conservative treatment. However, after taking many medications, there has been no relief. So, I want to understand what medications are actually used for hernias?Doctor's answer:
The medication for hernia is ineffective. First, it is essential to identify the reason for the recurrence of the hernia. The recurrence of hernia is due to the re-emergence of scar tissue in the peritoneum. This type of scar cannot be repaired through oral medication and will have no effect whatsoever. When a hernia recurs, the child may experience abdominal pain again, leading to crying. The crying, in turn, increases intra-abdominal pressure, further exacerbating the hernia and sometimes even causing an incarceration. Therefore, timely surgical treatment is necessary.
