Patient's question:
Can a one-year-old child wear diapers after a hernia surgery? What else should be noted?Help needed: Can a one-year-old child wear diapers after a hernia surgery?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has undergone an inguinal hernia surgery. To prevent postoperative complications, postoperative care still requires attention. The main focus is to prevent the child from experiencing prolonged increases in intra-abdominal pressure, such as prolonged crying, coughing, constipation, etc. Disposable diapers can be used. Disposable diapers are suitable for the child, and there is no need to worry too much, but attention should be paid to preventing prolonged increases in intra-abdominal pressure to avoid recurrence of the hernia. I hope my explanation helps you.
