Patient's question:
My son has been born for three weeks, and he has been crying at night recently and refusing to eat milk. No matter how we try to comfort him, it doesn't work. We took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that he has a hernia. The doctor said that surgery is required. Hello, must a hernia be treated with surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, hernia can be avoided without surgery, but it will never be completely cured. Only by undergoing surgery can the hernia be thoroughly treated and the suffering caused by it be avoided. Considering the child is still quite young, whether it's surgery or medication treatment depends on the child's specific condition. If the child's condition is severe and the doctor recommends surgery, then it's better to proceed with the surgery.
