Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old and has inguinal hernia. Seeing her suffer so much from the hernia and become so thin, I am willing to eat instant noodles even if it means spending money to get her treatment. Our family is poor, and we need money for this. I want to know how much it costs to treat pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
For pediatric hernia, because the patient is relatively young, it is necessary to go to a local top-tier hospital for follow-up. At the same time, a decision on general anesthesia is required, as the anesthesia fees are generally higher. Additionally, thorough preoperative examinations, surgical fees, specific anesthesia costs, and postoperative medication must be considered.Finally, during the treatment period, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
