Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 2 years old. He was diagnosed with infantile hernia shortly after birth. It has grown quite large now, and I want to know what methods can be used to treat it. I don't want such a young child to undergo surgery. Hello, what methods can help recover from hernia?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of hernia, the main approach is to undergo surgery. If the symptoms are not particularly severe in the early stages, it is appropriate to follow medical advice and use a hernia belt for local fixation. Generally, symptoms can be effectively relieved or the possibility of spontaneous healing is still very high after 2~3 treatment courses. If symptoms worsen again or healing becomes difficult, the main treatment approach remains surgical intervention, and it is recommended to remove the underlying cause as much as possible.
