Patient's question:
General hernias are usually found in children, right? Because my husband had one before, but his was quite severe, so we had surgery. Now our child has also gotten the same illness, but since it's a child, the treatment should be different. How is pediatric hernia treated?Doctor's answer:
Because the patient is only five years old, the physical condition of general patients is relatively poor. It is recommended that the patient first adopt the method of using a hernia belt for conservative treatment. At the same time, the patient also needs to go to the hospital for regular inspections to prevent recurrence of strangulation or obstruction. If the patient has already experienced strangulation again, it is necessary to adopt surgical treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it may pose a risk to life.
