Patient's question:
The child is not very old this year and has been crying a lot recently. No matter what he does, he cries. Even giving him food or drinks doesn't help. At first, I thought the child was just too fussy. But when I gave him a bath, I noticed he had a hernia. So I asked the doctor a few questions about what to do when a baby gets a hernia.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a relatively common disease in general surgery. It is caused by congenital underdevelopment of abdominal muscles and sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure due to postnatal factors, leading to weakness of abdominal contents. Since the child is too young, you should first use a hernia belt for conservative treatment and try to minimize factors that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as crying and constipation. If the effect is not good, surgery should be performed.
