Patient's question:
My child has been complaining of stomach pain since eating breakfast this morning. At first, I thought it was just a bit of diarrhea, so I bought medicine for him, but it didn't get better. Later, when I took him to the hospital, they said it was a hernia. So, can children's hernias be cured?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, infantile hernia within the age of two can gradually heal on its own through natural growth and development, without the need for special intervention, achieving clinical diagnosis cure. For children over two years old with hernia, if it still recurs repeatedly, surgical intervention can be considered. Currently, your child is already nine years old, and the possibility of the hernia healing on its own is almost zero. At this stage, surgical intervention is the best treatment method.
