Patient's question:
Before, the child had insurance at school. Now, the child often cries and has been diagnosed with infantile hernia. I'm a bit worried, so I want to ask if the school insurance can cover this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is caused by local skin weakness, leading to the protrusion and entrapment of abdominal organs. This is a congenital disease, and for a complete treatment, surgical intervention is required. If there is a protrusion, a hernia belt can be used initially, or manual reduction can be performed. If it can be reduced, the condition is generally not serious and will not cause strangulation. Surgical treatment can be postponed until the child is older. Schools typically offer accidental insurance, and hospitalization surgery requires a cooperative health insurance plan.
