Patient's question:
General hernias are usually found in children, right? Because my husband had one before, but it was quite serious, so we had surgery. Now our child has also gotten the same illness, but since it's a child, the treatment should be different. How is pediatric hernia treated?Doctor's answer:
Because the patient is only five years old, the physical condition of patients is generally poor. It is recommended to use a hernia belt for conservative treatment first. At the same time, the patient needs to go to the hospital for regular check-ups to prevent recurrence of incarceration or strangulation. If the patient experiences recurrence of incarceration, surgical treatment should be adopted as soon as possible, otherwise it may pose a risk to life.
