Patient's question:
Is it a hernia in the child? I really don't know what it is, and it was only discovered yesterday. I consulted my classmate who has been practicing pediatrics for five or six years, and she said this. She advised me to go to the hospital for treatment; don't treat it casually in small clinics, as it's easy to leave behind lingering issues.Doctor's answer:
Infantile hernia refers to the abdominal organs protruding through congenital or acquired weak points, leading to incarceration. Surgical treatment is required for infantile hernia, and this can be consulted in pediatric surgery or pediatrics. In smaller hospitals, it may not be possible to perform surgery. Generally, public hospitals at the county level or higher can conduct the procedure. Conservative treatment has limited effectiveness for hernias, and a hernia mesh surgery can be considered.
