Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. The baby has always been very healthy, but she always has difficulty defecating. I have also given her a lot of pure natural honey water, but it never seems to help. Recently, due to constipation, she developed abdominal bloating, and her abdomen felt hard when touched. The child also cries frequently. I would like to ask if infant hernia can resolve completely on its own?Doctor's answer:
If the child's condition is diagnosed with a hernia, it has a certain degree of curability through later growth and development, but this condition varies from person to person. Commonly, it manifests as an inguinal hernia or an umbilical hernia. This condition is often considered related to long-term constipation in the baby, prolonged crying, which leads to increased intra-abdominal pressure. It is a clinical diagnosis of a benign inflammatory condition where the intestinal wall protrudes. If necessary, surgical treatment may be required. You can first go to the general surgery department of a regular hospital for a follow-up consultation.
