Patient's question:
My daughter is one year and eight months old. Yesterday, the child wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. It was just discovered that she has a hernia. Is it possible to have surgery before she turns two? Is this a general anesthesia surgery? Can a child this young avoid surgery? What kind of medication can be taken to help with this condition?Doctor's answer:
Because the patient's age has not yet reached two years old, and the patient's physical condition is relatively poor, and the patient may experience a recurrence of remission, it is recommended to first adopt the conservative treatment method of using a hernia belt for treatment. If the patient's hernia has recurred and become incarcerated or strangulated, then the patient needs to adopt the surgical repair treatment method as soon as possible. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a good mood. Only with a positive mindset and adequate sleep can you quickly distance yourself from the illness.
