Patient's question:
A child from a friend's family is experiencing vomiting again, and it is found that the navel area is hard and unable to defecate. Is this a hernia? Can small hernias heal on their own? How is a hernia treated in infants under one year old? How is a hernia belt used? What are the necessary conditions for surgical and non-surgical hernia treatment?Doctor's answer:
For pediatric hernia, the patient's age should also be considered. If it is an umbilical hernia, appropriate manual treatment can be decided. After reduction, a hernia belt should be used for fixation, which may lead to spontaneous healing.，，。If the symptoms do not improve after using a hernia belt, surgical intervention may be necessary.
