Patient's question:
Hello, my child is one and a half years old. A hernia was discovered before March.Doctor's answer:
Non-surgical treatment for infants under one year old can be temporarily avoided as the condition may resolve on its own. Cotton cord bandages or compression bandages can be used to hold the deep ring. Surgical treatment for hernia, if not promptly addressed, can lead to the gradual enlargement of the hernia mass, ultimately worsening symptoms and potentially causing strangulation or obstruction, which may threaten the patient's life. I believe most people are aware that hernia is more harmful to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light meals and avoiding foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
