Patient's question:
My baby doesn't know what's going on either. Recently, he got an inguinal hernia, and he's crying and screaming really badly. It's an oval shape, round and quite large. When I took him to the hospital, the doctor said surgery is needed. I'm very worried and don't know what to do. I want to understand what causes a child's hernia.Doctor's answer:
For pediatric hernia, the possibility of it being caused by congenital local scars is relatively high. Specific diagnosis is required in combination with clinical examination. After manual reduction, a hernia belt can be used for local fixation. Attention should be paid to preventing excessive crying in children. The appropriate time for surgical treatment can be determined based on the child's age. Additionally, proper postoperative care and prevention training for complications should be ensured.
