Patient's question:
When the baby was 21 months old, they suddenly started crying non-stop. The family checked and found a hard lump protruding in the left inguinal area. They then went to the city's People's Hospital in an emergency. The surgeon said it was an inguinal hernia. I would like to ask the doctor what should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
In this case, if the infant frequently experiences recurrent hernias, surgical treatment is necessary. If it is about the infant's vital signs, it is essential to undergo surgery early to avoid adverse situations, the consequences of which are unimaginable. Therefore, if you do not want to have surgery for the infant, please pay close attention. You must perform manual reduction, or generally, you should pay attention to maintenance, and try to avoid the infant crying or eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. It is crucial to maintain regular bowel movements and wait for the infant to grow after the surgery.
