Patient's question:
My baby is just 20 days old. Every time she cries, I feel her belly is bulging. The doctor said it's a hernia. What is the best treatment for hernias?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the hernia belt can be slightly deflated to prevent the child from crying for a long time. When the hernia swells, gently massage it to restore its original shape. If the baby's hernia does not recur for a long time, it may gradually heal. If the child has symptoms such as abdominal pain, crying, abdominal pain, and dry vomiting, timely treatment is needed to prevent hernia strangulation. If the hernia does not fully heal after the age of two, there is basically no chance of full recovery, and immediate surgical treatment is recommended.
