Patient's question:
Sister's child has been diagnosed with a hernia, and sister is very worried. However, the mother said she has a folk remedy that can be used. So, could you please ask about the most effective folk remedy for pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric inguinal hernia is one of the most common diseases in pediatric surgery and hernia surgery, mainly including congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. A diet rich in fiber is recommended to prevent constipation. Children under one year old are treated conservatively, while those over one year old undergo surgical treatment. Pediatric inguinal hernia can be treated surgically, but there may be occasional recurrences after surgery. If a child cries uncontrollably and the hernia lump cannot retract, it may indicate an inguinal hernia strangulation, and emergency medical attention should be sought immediately.
