Patient's question:
My colleague's baby is two months old. Recently, when the baby cries, there is a lump that protrudes at the point where the abdomen meets the thigh root, but it disappears when the baby is not crying. In which season is it best to treat pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia in children is best treated in spring and autumn. If the hernia persists, surgery is recommended for children over one year old. Currently, surgical options include traditional open surgery and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery has less trauma and a faster recovery. A hernia refers to a condition where an organ or tissue in the human body moves out of its normal anatomical position and enters another area through congenital or acquired weak points, defects, or openings.
