What is the best treatment for hernia?

Patient's question:

5 months ago onset

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to use a hernia belt to compress the area and prevent the hernia from protruding again. Avoid actions that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as crying, coughing, and preventing colds, in daily life. If the hernia has not healed after the age of four, surgery may be considered for repair.
There are many treatment methods available for inguinal hernia now. For children, laparoscopic repair is a good option, as it has minimal trauma, quick recovery, low risk, and short duration. There is also tension-free mesh repair and traditional repair methods.
