Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my child is three years old. Recently, he was carefully examined and found to have a hernia. I don't know what to do for a child so young with a hernia. I am very worried and anxious, so I would like to consult the doctor about how to treat a hernia in a female infant.Doctor's answer:
For children experiencing recurrent hernia. The primary treatment method is based on surgical intervention, and a hernia belt can be appropriately applied locally for fixation. This can effectively slow down or prevent the recurrence of local hernias. It is advisable to use a hernia belt for fixation after manual reduction, which tends to be more effective. The appropriate time for surgical intervention should be determined. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to maintaining regular bowel movements and avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive crying, and various factors that can increase intra-abdominal pressure, as these can easily lead to recurrence.
