Can a baby with severe hernia have surgery?

Patient's question:

Male, 10 months - Condition Description: The baby is 8 months old and has severe inguinal hernia. Both sides have dropped down. Can the baby have surgery?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the initial consideration is bilateral inguinal. Bilateral inguinal is a congenital disease that cannot heal on its own and requires surgical treatment. However, for children under 1 year old, there is still an opportunity for self-recovery. It is recommended that you wait and see. If the condition worsens, it is suggested that you take your child to a regular hospital for surgical treatment and develop a relevant treatment plan.
