Where in Sichuan are there hospitals that treat hernias?

Patient's question:

Two and a half month old girl with inguinal hernia on the left side

Doctor's answer:

Hello, children with hernia have a possibility of self-healing before the age of one. You can use a hernia belt to treat your child. The tightness should be appropriate, ensuring the lump doesn't drop down—looser is better. Too tight can affect the child's development. The first time, it's best for a doctor to wear it for your child. Alternatively, you can wrap a 1-yuan coin in soft cloth, press the lump back into the abdomen, and then secure it with adhesive tape. The goal is to prevent the lump from coming out.
Additionally, pay attention to your child's nutrition and try to minimize situations that increase abdominal pressure, such as crying, coughing, or constipation. After the age of one, the possibility of self-healing is almost lost, and surgical treatment should be considered. You should observe your child regularly and be cautious of hernia strangulation. If strangulation occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
