Patient's question:
After my child was born, I soon discovered that he had a hernia. I heard that infantile hernias have a certain degree of self-healing ability, so I also hope that it can be treated quickly this season. Self-healing methods for pediatric hernias?Doctor's answer:
Hernia has a certain cure rate, especially in children under one year old, with a relatively high self-healing rate. At this time, hernia belts or hernia patches can be used to accelerate the self-healing of the hernia. Therefore, it is best not to undergo surgical treatment for children under one year old, but to wait for the disease to heal through conservative methods. Over one year old, because the increased activity of the groin makes the impact of the ring opening more severe and the possibility of self-healing becomes smaller. If the child is over one year old, it is recommended to have surgery.
