Patient's question:
In the past two days, my child has been telling me that her stomach hurts really badly. I don't know what's going on, but after carefully observing, I noticed that her stomach is bloated. I took her for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's pediatric hernia. But I want to ask, how valuable is a pediatric hernia belt?Doctor's answer:
A pediatric hernia belt is only a preventive measure to prevent the hernia from falling off and cannot fundamentally treat hernia. The pediatric hernia belt can prevent the hernia from falling off when abdominal pressure increases, but it cannot fundamentally treat hernia, only preventing it from falling off again. If a child cannot undergo surgery, the hernia belt can be used temporarily to prevent the hernia from falling off. Ultimately, if it cannot heal completely, surgical treatment is still recommended.
