Patient's question:
At 0 months, it was discovered that the right inguinal area was weak. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: At the hospital, it was said to be a hernia requiring surgery. What kind of help is desired: To go back for surgery in June, but the outpatient department hasn't been open yet. Is it open now?Doctor's answer:
Your situation is that your child is just over 1 year old, and there is no need to rush for surgery. Some may heal on their own, but it is recommended to start trying the conservative treatment from now on.Your situation: I suggest using a hernia bag first to prevent the lump from protruding and to prevent crying. If the abdominal wall heals and the lump does not protrude, it proves that the conservative treatment is successful, and surgery may not be needed. If it has not healed by the age of 3, surgery is recommended. It is essential to prevent strangulation. Wishing your child a healthy growth.
