Patient's question:
My child was just born a few weeks ago and is only two and a half weeks old, but has been carefully diagnosed with a hernia. I searched online a few times and found that it greatly interferes with the child's absorption and other aspects, which makes me very worried. I don't know what to do, so I especially come to consult a doctor to see if there is any solution.Doctor's answer:
This also needs attention for hernia, as the patient is relatively young. Specific types of hernia need to be identified, and (manual reduction) followed by the use of a hernia belt for local fixation may lead to spontaneous resolution or complete healing. Clinical diagnosis is necessary to prevent excessive crying in children and the recurrence of conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as acute or chronic cough, or even straining during bowel movements due to constipation. If necessary, appropriate timing for surgical intervention should be decided.
