Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that the baby is not feeling well, not eating well, and is easily crying. I carefully checked his body and found that he has an inguinal hernia, located between his legs. I feel very worried and scared, fearing that the baby might get hurt due to this. I want to seek treatment. How should pediatric hernias be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric hernia requires surgical intervention. It is recommended to carefully observe the specific condition of the child's hernia. If symptoms such as pain reappear, it may be due to reasons like incarceration. It is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for a thorough examination using ultrasound before undergoing surgery. After surgical treatment, a light diet should be maintained to avoid excessive consumption of greasy foods, and regular follow-up examinations should be conducted.
