Can a baby with an inguinal hernia use a hernia belt?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Can a hernia belt be used for inguinal hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Hernias can generally heal on their own within the first six months of a child's life. After six months, there is no longer a possibility of spontaneous healing, and medical examination and treatment should be sought from a hospital. There are several treatment methods available:
1. Hernia belt and medication: The hernia belt and medication can only provide temporary relief but cannot completely cure the hernia. Additionally, wearing a hernia belt for a long time may compress the child's physical growth and development.
2. Surgical therapy: Children's bodies are fragile, and surgery may cause significant damage.
