Patient's question:
My child has a lump the size of an egg on the left side. It has been present for about a year. The baby is usually noticed to have it when crying or laughing hard, but it completely disappears when sleeping at night. What are the treatment methods for infant hernia?Doctor's answer:
Dear friend, hello, it is a great pleasure to serve you. Currently, you can adopt a conservative treatment approach, which is to wear an inguinal hernia belt. Wear it during the day when the child is active and take it off at night. The inguinal hernia belt requires persistence, and the wearing time should be around six months. If there is still a descent of the inguinal hernia after six months without healing, then there is no other option but to undergo surgery.
