Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old and has inguinal hernia. Watching her suffer from the hernia and become so thin, I am willing to eat instant noodles to pay for her treatment and help her recover. Our family is poor and we need money to make ends meet. I want to know how much it costs to treat pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
For pediatric inguinal hernia, because the patient is relatively young, it is necessary to go to a local top-tier hospital for follow-up. Additionally, there needs to be a decision made regarding general anesthesia, as the anesthesia fees are generally higher. It is also required to undergo additional preoperative thorough examinations, surgical fees, specific anesthesia fees, postoperative medication, and other aspects.Finally, during the treatment period, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
