Patient's question:
The baby is about two months old. The past two days, while I was giving the baby a bath, I noticed some bumps on his navel. Later, after consulting, I learned that this is caused by a hernia. What should I do about the hernia at two months?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the issue you have raised, the navel area is a relatively weak part of the human abdominal wall. Due to long-term increased abdominal pressure, it can cause the intestinal tube and other abdominal contents to easily protrude from this area, forming an inguinal hernia. In your child's case, it should be considered whether there is an inguinal hernia. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to see a pediatrician or surgeon for examination. If it is an inguinal hernia, conservative treatment such as compression can be initially adopted. If the conservative treatment is still not satisfactory, surgical treatment can be considered.
