Patient's question:
My son has always been particularly prone to crying since he was a child. Due to his intense crying, he developed an inguinal hernia. Now, his hernia has become quite severe, and we are preparing to take him to the hospital for treatment. Therefore, I would like to consult with the doctor about how to best treat pediatric hernias.Doctor's answer:
For pediatric hernia, it is also necessary to pay attention to preventing the child from crying excessively. Appropriately decide to use manual reduction after an episode, and apply a hernia belt for stabilization for 2 to 3 courses, carefully observing how the symptoms are relieved. If there is a recurrence of worsening or joint-related symptoms, it is necessary to decide on surgery for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is important to prevent straining during bowel movements, long-term acute or chronic cough, and intense exercise, among other things.
