Patient's question:
My child was just born a few weeks ago and is only two and a half weeks old, but he was carefully examined and found to have a hernia. I searched online a few times and discovered that it greatly interferes with the child's absorption and other aspects, which makes me very worried. I don't know what to do, so I am specially coming to consult a doctor to see if there is any solution.Doctor's answer:
This also needs attention for hernia, as the patient is relatively young. Specific types of hernia need to be identified, and (manual reduction) followed by the use of a hernia belt for local fixation may lead to spontaneous resolution or complete healing. Clinical diagnosis is necessary to prevent excessive crying in children and the recurrence of conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure, including acute or chronic cough, or even straining during bowel movements due to constipation. If necessary, surgery should be considered at an appropriate time for treatment.
