Patient's question:
My little baby is only eight months old now. In the recent period, the child has been taken to the ice skating rink. However, in the past few days, the child has been feeling unwell, and after a thorough check-up, it was found that the child has a hernia. Today, I want to take the child ice skating, so can a baby with a hernia go ice skating?Doctor's answer:
Babies with hernias can also ice skate, but the duration should not be too long. At the moment, the child is only 8 months old, and the hernia can still be treated conservatively with a hernia belt. If the hernia has not resolved by the time the child is under one year old, surgery may need to be considered to treat it. It is best to avoid excessive crying in children. Otherwise, crying may worsen the hernia. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
