Patient's question:
Last week, my child went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The examination results said he had a hernia. I don't know why he would get this disease, but now that he has it, I want to recover quickly and get better. Could experts in this field help explain what precautions should be taken for pediatric hernias?Doctor's answer:
For pediatric inguinal hernia, it is also necessary to pay attention to preventing excessive crying and straining during bowel movements, as well as long-term coughing, as these may all lead to recurrent acute incarceration and other symptoms. The main treatment method involves manual reduction followed by the use of a hernia belt for local fixation. If symptoms worsen or recur without improvement, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible to prevent recurrent acute incarceration and avoid strenuous exercise.
