What should I do if my baby's hernia comes out frequently?

Patient's question:

One year and three months, the baby's hernia keeps falling down, and it takes a while to return to its position. Each time it falls down, it's as big as an egg. Currently, the baby is too young to undergo surgery for treatment. They want to use some medication, but are afraid of leaving postoperative sequelae for the child. What should be done about the frequent falling of the baby's hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it is decided that after manual reduction, a hernia belt can be used for fixation, which can appropriately determine the implementation of surgical treatment, because of frequent recurrence. It is also necessary to pay attention to preventing children from crying excessively or straining during defecation to avoid recurrence. Various situations that can increase intra-abdominal pressure should be avoided as much as possible, including excessive crying, intense exercise, running and jumping, straining during defecation, hiccups, coughing, etc.
