How to treat pediatric inguinal hernia more safely?

Patient's question:

My baby is always very disobedient. In the past, I spoiled her too much. Now, if she wants anything, I don't buy it for her. Then she always cries, and crying often causes an inguinal hernia. I would like to ask everyone how to treat pediatric inguinal hernias? I hope you can reply.

Doctor's answer:

Your child has a hernia, which is congenital. There are weak points or gaps in the abdominal wall that are yet to develop fully. Once the abdominal wall strength decreases, the hernia will heal. Crying and crying in the child are just triggers that increase abdominal pressure. As long as the hernia can be reduced, without strangulation or incarceration, surgery is not required before the age of 18. If the hernia does not heal before the age of 18, surgical treatment will be necessary.
