Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 2 years old. He was diagnosed with infantile hernia shortly after birth, and it has grown quite large now. I want to know what methods can be used to treat it, as I don't want such a young child to undergo surgery. Hello, what methods can hernia be cured with?Doctor's answer:
For hernia, the main treatment method is to decide on surgery. If the symptoms are not particularly severe in the early stages, it is appropriate to follow the doctor's advice and use a hernia belt for local fixation. Generally, symptoms can be effectively relieved or the possibility of spontaneous healing is still very high after 2~3 courses of treatment. If symptoms worsen again or it is difficult to heal, the main treatment method is to decide on surgery. It is recommended to try to remove the cause of the problem.
