How to treat pediatric hernia?

Patient's question:

I found that nowadays, if the little baby doesn't jump, the left side occasionally doesn't show up, and it's also not present when the baby wakes up early. Taking the baby to a hospital for an examination, they said that only surgery can restore it. How to treat the baby's hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, an inguinal hernia is a type of hernia that is easily reducible. It is a common and frequently occurring disease. It can be divided into congenital hernias and acquired hernias. Congenital hernias refer to the processus vaginalis, the inferior edge of the internal oblique muscle, etc. Acquired hernias include poor healing of surgical incisions or drainage sites, trauma, inflammation, infection, and other conditions that cause increased abdominal pressure. Except for a small number of infants who can recover spontaneously, surgical treatment is most often required.
