Patient's question:
The child is two months old with congenital bilateral hernias, the protruding contents are the size of a small egg, and can be manually pushed back. What kind of help is needed: At what age can surgery be performed? Can the hernia belt treatment lead to self-healing?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the condition you mentioned is a problem suffered by a 2-month-old child. Indeed, the presence of the symptoms described should indicate an inguinal. At this age, surgery is not suitable. For the age mentioned, it is indeed possible to decide on an external fixation with a hernia belt. You should carefully observe for a longer period of time, and there is still a good chance of recovery to normal. Of course, after the age of 2, it is still not possible to fully recover, and at that time, surgery would need to be considered.
