Patient's question:
My child is not very old, but she has developed a hernia. I am very concerned about her health and upset that this condition may cause harm to her body. I don't fully understand hernia myself and am unaware of the treatment methods. What should I do about my child's hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common pediatric surgical diseases in clinical diagnosis. Infants and young children under the age of two with hernia often gradually heal on their own through growth and development, without the need for special treatment. For children over the age of two with hernia, if it still recurs repeatedly, surgical treatment is the best method. According to your description of the condition, your child is now 10 years old, and the hernia still recurs repeatedly at this time. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as early as possible.
