Patient's question:
A child from a friend's family has experienced vomiting again, and it was found that the area around the navel is hard and unable to defecate. Is this a hernia? Can small hernias heal on their own? How is a hernia treated in infants under one year old? How is a hernia belt used? What are the necessary conditions for surgical and non-surgical hernia treatments?Doctor's answer:
For pediatric hernia, the patient's age should also be considered. If it is an umbilical hernia, the appropriate method can be determined, and after reduction, a hernia belt can be used for fixation, which may allow for spontaneous recovery.，，。If the symptoms do not improve after using a hernia belt, surgical treatment should be considered.
