Patient's question:
My baby has been crying a lot recently, but there are no obvious symptoms of illness. It wasn't until we took her to the hospital that the doctor carefully examined and diagnosed an inguinal hernia. The doctor suggested we have surgery as soon as possible, but we are a bit hesitant, worried about complications. Could you tell me what are the possible complications after inguinal hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
If a hernia reappears in the abdomen, the main treatment method is to rest more, and then provide the baby with adequate nutrition. Generally, if the baby is still quite young, there is no need to worry. It is best to observe the situation as carefully as possible for a year. If it cannot be fully recovered, surgery can be considered for treatment. The purpose of the surgery is mainly to strengthen the muscles. Only in this way can the hernia be fully and gradually recovered.
