Patient's question:
A two-month-old baby has developed an inguinal hernia. He frequently strains during bowel movements, and the hernia protrudes when he strains, only retracting when he stops. It comes and goes several times a day.Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with hernia have a possibility of self-healing before the age of one. You can use a hernia belt to treat it. The tightness should be appropriate, with the goal of preventing the lump from dropping down. The looser, the better. If it's too tight, it may affect the child's development.
