Patient's question:
My child had been pulling at his little penis for a month, and he often complained of pain, which scared me. I took him to the hospital, and the examination revealed an inguinal hernia. They said to wait and see. Could you please tell me what to eat for an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is a greeting to the parent. Don't hurry, hernia is generally treated by surgery for a complete cure. During the treatment, you can increase the intake of high-protein foods such as dairy products, eggs, and fish to promote wound healing. Additionally, eat more fruits and vegetables to avoid constipation, and drink plenty of plain water. Definitely do not drink alcohol, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and prevent constipation, coughing, and other situations that may increase intra-abdominal pressure during treatment.
