Patient's question:
My baby has had a hernia since he was a child and has never undergone surgery for it. We try our best not to make him angry and avoid increasing his crying. However, the hernia has flared up again recently, and we are considering having him undergo surgery. After all, it is surgery, and it is very heart-wrenching. Is the surgical experience painful for children with hernias?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the experience of the child's hernia surgery is not painful because the child is young and requires general anesthesia to be administered under the condition of body anesthesia before performing this type of surgery. After the surgery, there may be a possibility of local swelling and pain at the wound site on the first day, which is a normal part of the complete recovery process. Do not have too much mental and psychological pressure, and undergo follow-up examinations regularly.
