Patient's question:
My baby was carefully examined and found to have an inguinal hernia. The doctor used manual reduction to push it back, but it recurred again, feeling sad. At 15 months old, it happened again, and the doctor pushed it back with his hands. It hasn't recurred in several days, but now it has flared up again, and it can no longer be pushed back. I don't know what method can cure it. What kind of help is needed: How is pediatric hernia treated?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is symptomatic of a hernia, which typically causes a lump and pain in the groin area. Children under the age of 2 can generally be treated conservatively, while those older may require surgical intervention.For your child's situation, I recommend starting with rest and nutritional support, such as eating more eggs and meat. It is best for your child to undergo surgical treatment at the general surgery department of a hospital. This can be cured, and it will not be very complex. The main concern is the risk of recurrence, as most inguinal hernias cannot be cured, except for a small number of infantile hernias. Early and thorough treatment is essential for pediatric hernias, and surgery is the best method with a low recurrence rate.
