Question
A 2-year-old boy has been diagnosed with a hernia. Parents want to know when it is the best time to undergo surgery?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric hernias typically recommends minimally invasive surgery. This method has the advantages of minimal trauma and rapid recovery, causing minimal pain to the child. Parents should assist in choosing a regular specialty hospital for treatment to ensure good treatment outcomes. Postoperatively, it is important to ensure that the child has adequate rest time, avoids overexertion, especially excessive exercise, to prevent affecting the postoperative recovery. In terms of diet, it should be well-balanced, light, easy to digest, and nutritious.
