Question
At 21 months old, the baby suddenly started crying uncontrollably. The family checked and found a hard lump in the left inguinal groove, so they rushed to the city people’s hospital. The surgeon said it was a hernia and wanted to ask the doctor what we should do about this situation at home?
Answer
In this case, if the infant frequently experiences recurrent hernias, surgical treatment is necessary. If it is a life-threatening symptom for the infant, it is necessary to undergo surgery early to avoid adverse situations with unimaginable consequences. Therefore, if you do not want to subject your baby to surgery, you must pay close attention. You must perform hand reduction or maintain proper care, try to avoid the baby crying or eating too much fresh fruit and vegetables, and ensure that bowel movements are smooth. Wait for the baby to grow up after surgery.
