Patient's question:
My child hasn't been eating recently, and they also always seem to have bloating, as if they keep touching their stomach which feels hard. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor diagnosed a left diaphragmatic hernia. How is a diaphragmatic hernia treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia needs to be based on the specific condition severity, and also depends on the child's physical condition. Generally, surgical treatment is required, and the surgical outcome is relatively good, but it also depends on the child's condition, the timing of the surgery, and the surgical method. The earlier the surgical treatment, the better it can treat the diaphragmatic hernia and achieve more satisfactory treatment results. It is recommended that you seek treatment promptly at a professional hospital in your area to avoid any potential harm.
