Patient's question:
My baby's hernia is the type that comes and goes sometimes. Previously, we adopted conservative treatment methods, but the hernia still persisted. Sometimes it causes abdominal bloating and pain, making the baby cry and fuss. What is the reason behind the intermittent hernia in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child is four years old and has a hernia. Mild cases can be treated conservatively with a hernia belt, avoiding prolonged crying or intense exercise. Regular follow-up is necessary. The hernia belt should be worn consistently. If there is worsening or persistent discomfort and crying, surgical treatment can be considered. This condition is prone to recurrence, so proper care is important. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital.
