Patient's question:
A child with an inguinal hernia cries and gets up when running.Doctor's answer:
Hernia in children, if treated in time, will not have serious adverse effects.Guidelines:
Currently, the child is too young to undergo surgical treatment. As long as a hernia treatment belt is worn on the abdomen, it is important to teach the child methods to reduce abdominal pressure, such as learning diaphragmatic breathing, reducing crying, and avoiding constipation to alleviate negative pressure. With gradual growth and development, the abdominal wall ligaments and soft tissues may strengthen, leading to effective relief or even normalization of the hernia. Surgical treatment can be considered if the hernia has not resolved by the age of 5-7.
