Patient's question:
My son has particularly poor immunity and often gets sick. Recently, I've noticed that he cries and screams especially severely, which led me to discover that his genitalia are swollen to a particularly extreme degree. I quickly took him to the hospital. The doctor who saw him said it was infantile inguinal hernia. What are the treatment methods for infantile inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Common treatments for pediatric inguinal include conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Generally, it is considered for children under 6 months old. The first point is conservative treatment. Conservative treatment mainly involves compressing the internal inguinal ring with small intestinal airway to gradually close the internal inguinal ring. For children over 6 months old, surgical treatment can be considered. Currently, surgical treatment is divided into laparoscopic hernia. High ligation of the hernia sac is divided into two types: high ligation of the hernia sac and traditional high ligation of the hernia sac.
