Patient's question:
Doctor, my child has just been born for over 20 days, and I really hope he can grow up healthy. But contrary to expectations, he was diagnosed with something called inguinal hernia in newborns. What should I do about this inguinal hernia in newborns? Please give me some advice, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Infant hernia is very common, mainly due to incomplete growth and development of the infant's abdominal wall structure. These cases are usually treated first through observation, as children with hernias may self-recover before the age of one. It is recommended to use a gas belt for infants. The tightness should be appropriate. The looser the better. Too tight can affect the child's growth and development. We should do our best to prevent and reduce crying, coughing, constipation, frustration, and intense exercise.
