Patient's question:
My son has been experiencing abdominal bloating and pain recently, and he noticed a lump on his abdomen that has been gradually getting larger over time. When he went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was a hernia. I would like to ask what should be done if a child gets a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello patient, hernia types: small intestine hernia, small intestine hernia is solid, except for hydrocele (water hernia), which is liquid. If it is a small intestine hernia, traditional surgery can be considered for treatment, directly pressing and suturing the hernia ring opening is the fastest method. General anesthesia will be used to ensure the safety of the surgery, but general anesthesia poses risks to the child's brain development. It is recommended to seek treatment at a local top-tier hospital.
