Is it a hernia in the child?

Patient's question:

Is it a hernia in the child? I really don't know what it is, it was only discovered yesterday. I consulted my classmate who has been practicing pediatric medicine for five or six years, and she said this. She advised me to go to the hospital for treatment; don't treat it casually in small clinics, as it's easy to leave behind lingering problems.

Doctor's answer:

Infant hernia refers to the protrusion of abdominal organs through congenital or acquired weak points, leading to incarceration. Surgical treatment is required for infant hernia, and this can be consulted with pediatric surgery or pediatric departments. In smaller hospitals, surgery may not be available, as it is generally performed in public hospitals at the county level or higher. Conservative treatment has limited effectiveness for hernias, and hernia mesh surgery can be considered.
