Patient's question:
After my child was born, I soon discovered that he had a hernia. I heard that children's hernias have a certain degree of self-healing ability, so I also hope that it can be treated quickly this season. Self-healing methods for children's hernias?Doctor's answer:
Hernia has a certain cure rate, especially in children under one year old, the self-healing rate is relatively high. At this time, hernia belts or hernia patches can be used to accelerate the self-healing of the hernia. Therefore, children under one year old should preferably not undergo surgical treatment, but should wait for the disease to heal through conservative methods. Over one year old, because the activity in the groin increases, the impact of the ring opening becomes more severe, and the possibility of self-healing becomes smaller. If the child is over one year old, it is recommended to have surgery.
