Can a two-year-old's hernia be relieved?

Patient's question:

I didn't expect that the baby is now two years old and has developed a hernia. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said that there is no good solution for this kind of problem, and it can only be treated through surgery. However, some babies may also recover on their own. Can a two-year-old baby's hernia be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Hydrocele is a relatively common disease in pediatric surgical diagnosis, often related to congenital developmental abnormalities in children. In mild cases, it can be treated with a hydrocele belt, and a small portion can heal on their own as the child grows. However, for more severe symptoms, surgical treatment is necessary to prevent recurrence of hydrocele incarceration and intestinal necrosis. Regardless of the treatment method used, hydroceles can be completely cured, so please do not worry.
