Patient's question:
I went to visit my uncle's child yesterday and found that his child cries a lot. Moreover, his lower abdomen is swollen and very hard to touch. My uncle said that the child has a hernia since birth, which is why he cries a lot and is very thin. I don't know how to treat this condition.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best to first adopt non-surgical treatment methods. For example, wearing a suitable hernia belt, applying topical herbal patches to acupoints, or taking oral herbal supplements to boost qi can be the best ways to achieve the goal of curing. Because surgery requires general anesthesia, which has potential side effects such as memory loss and intellectual development disorders. I believe everyone knows that hernia can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a preference for light and unstimulating foods, avoiding spicy foods. Moreover, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
