Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is 2 years old. He was found to have infantile hernia shortly after birth, and it has become larger now. I want to know what methods can be used to treat it, as I don't want such a young child to undergo surgery. Hello, what methods can be used to relieve hernia?Doctor's answer:
For hernia, the main treatment method is to decide on surgical intervention. If the symptoms are not particularly severe in the early stages, it is appropriate to follow the doctor's advice and use a hernia belt for local fixation. Generally, symptoms can be effectively relieved or the possibility of spontaneous healing within 2~3 courses is still very high. If symptoms worsen again or healing is difficult, the main treatment method is to decide on surgical intervention. It is recommended to try to remove the cause of the problem.
