Patient's question:
My child developed a hernia at a very young age. When the child cries intensely, there is a bulge in the groin area, and there is a hard lump when touched. Additionally, the child has symptoms like diarrhea. The doctor said surgery is necessary. My child is a girl, and I am wondering if the hernia surgery will affect her fertility.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common pediatric surgical diseases in clinical diagnosis. High ligation surgery for hernia is the most effective treatment method for children's hernia. Since high ligation surgery for hernia does not involve the female's fallopian tubes, uterus, or other reproductive organs, it has no impact on the future fertility of the baby. It will never cause fertility dysfunction in the baby. Please rest assured, parents.
