Patient's question:
My son has particularly poor immunity and often gets sick. Recently, I noticed that he cries more severely, especially when he doesn't play. This is when I discovered that his genital area is swollen, especially severely. I quickly took him to the hospital. The doctor who treated him said it was infantile inguinal hernia. What are the treatments for infantile inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Common treatments for pediatric inguinal include conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Generally, children under 6 months of age are considered. The first point is conservative treatment. Conservative treatment primarily involves compressing the internal inguinal ring with small intestine airway to gradually close the internal inguinal ring. For children over 6 months of age, surgical treatment can be considered. Currently, surgical treatment is divided into laparoscopic hernia. High ligation of the hernia sac is divided into two types: high ligation of the hernia sac and traditional high ligation of the hernia sac.
