Patient's question:
My son has always been particularly prone to crying since he was a child. Due to his intense crying, he developed an inguinal hernia. Now, his hernia has become quite severe, and we are preparing to take him to the hospital for treatment. Therefore, I would like to consult the doctor about how to best treat pediatric hernias.Doctor's answer:
For children with inguinal hernia, it is also necessary to pay attention to preventing excessive crying in children. Appropriately decide to use manual reduction after onset, and use a hernia belt to fix it for 2~3 courses of treatment, carefully observe how the symptoms are relieved. If necessary, there may be recurrence of worsening or joint-like phenomena, and it is necessary to decide on surgery for treatment as soon as possible. It is also necessary to pay attention to preventing straining during defecation, long-term acute and chronic cough, and strenuous exercise, etc.
