Patient's question:
I went to the hospital with my mother-in-law to visit my sister's sick son. When we arrived, I saw that my sister had aged several years overnight. My sister said her son had undergone an inguinal hernia surgery. I wanted to ask about the precautions to take after a pediatric inguinal hernia surgery.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this family member, after the child's hernia surgery, it is necessary to rest, have a reasonable diet, and avoid the baby crying, which may cause the hernia and hinder recovery. Only by resting sufficiently can the wound heal and recurrence be avoided. The main reasons for recurrence are related to the child crying and increased abdominal pressure. To prevent the recurrence of this disease and recover health early, it is essential to have a quiet environment for the baby and combine it with bed rest to control recurrence.
