Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my sister's baby was carefully examined and found to have a hernia. The baby was in pain, and my sister was very anxious every day. Seeing this also made me quite sad. My baby is three years old this year, and I pay close attention to his physical health. How can I tell if my child might have a hernia?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of hernia patients can be implemented based on clinical manifestations as well as imaging examination results such as ultrasound and X-ray. For pediatric hernia patients, surgical treatment should be adopted as early as possible. If the patient does not receive timely treatment, with the progression of the condition, if re-occurrence of strangulation or obstruction occurs, it may lead to the patient facing life-threatening risks again. If the above symptoms do not re-appear and the patient has surgical contraindications, a hernia belt can also be used for treatment.
