How to treat pediatric hernia?

Patient's question:

I found that now, on the left side of the little baby, if they don't jump occasionally, it doesn't appear. It's also not there when they wake up early in the morning. I took the little baby to a hospital to understand, and they said that only surgery can restore it. How to treat the little baby's hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, an inguinal hernia is a type of hernia that is easily reducible. It is a common and frequently occurring disease. It can be divided into congenital and acquired hernias. Congenital hernias refer to such conditions as the peritoneal sac and the inferior edge of the internal oblique muscle. Acquired hernias include poor healing of surgical incisions or drainage sites, trauma, inflammation, infection, and other conditions that cause increased abdominal pressure. Except for a small number of infants who can recover on their own, surgical treatment is most often required.
