Patient's question:
A year ago, I could feel very hard nodules in the groin area of my child, which were less noticeable when she lay down. Now the lump has decreased, and she often suffers from constipation and pain. I want to treat her well, so how should a girl be treated for hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is most common in children who frequently experience constipation. Based on your description of your child's condition, your child is currently 7 years old and frequently constipated, which is one of the fundamental reasons for hernia. For children under 2 years old, hernia may not require special treatment. For children over 2 years old, if their physical condition permits, surgical treatment should be preferred as much as possible. Surgery is the most effective method for treating children's hernia.
