Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my son's legs are a bit swollen. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a hernia. The doctor mentioned that surgery is needed for the hernia. I would like to ask how long children need to stay in the hospital for hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a surgical condition. When children undergo hernia surgery, they generally need to stay in the hospital for about 1 week. They can usually be discharged after about 3 days of postoperative care. If there are recurring issues, the hospital stay should be shortened, and active cooperation with the doctor in implementing treatment is essential. In daily life, it is important to cultivate good living and dietary habits in children to prevent them from developing repeated unhealthy habits that may interfere with the complete recovery of their bodies after surgery.
