Patient's question:
My child has been pulling at his little penis with his hands for a month and kept complaining of pain, which scared me. I took him to the hospital, and the check-up revealed an inguinal hernia. They said to wait and see. Could you please tell me what to eat for an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is a greeting to the parent. Don't hurry, hernia is generally treated completely through surgery. During the treatment period, you can increase the intake of high-protein foods such as dairy products, eggs, and fish to promote wound healing. Additionally, eat more fruits and vegetables to avoid constipation and drink plenty of plain water. Definitely avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods. During the treatment period, prevent situations that can increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as constipation and coughing.
