Patient's question:
Around half a year old, he suffered from hernia, and now he is 2 years old. It doesn't hurt, but it's quite large. What kind of help is needed: Is there a risk involved in surgery? The child at home is quite active and lively, will excessive movement after surgery affect the treatment effect? Does the surgery require general anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition may be infantile hernia, caused by the underdevelopment of the pelvic floor muscles. It is recommended to use a hernia belt to re-bandage and secure it, while also minimizing the baby's crying. If the condition has not fully healed or recurs after the age of 2, surgical treatment may be necessary. Surgery carries risks, but the likelihood of recurrence is low. It is advised that the patient pay attention to diet in daily life and avoid stimulating foods. Rest more!
