At two years old, can I have surgery for a hernia?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my baby is two years old this year, super cute, but why did God make him go through such hardships? He has a hernia. Sigh, my wife wants him to have surgery, and I want to understand. My son is two years old and has a hernia. Can he have surgery now?

Doctor's answer:

This hernia is a relatively common surgical condition. Your child is already two years old, and if he has a hernia, it can be considered to undergo surgery at the right time under the guidance of a doctor. It is essential to pay attention to the child and avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as intense exercise, loud crying, coughing, constipation, and hiccups. Otherwise, it may lead to symptom relief. For the treatment of the disease, it is crucial to follow the doctor's advice. Whether choosing a treatment method or medication, do not proceed blindly to avoid potential risks that could endanger life safety.
