Question
What is a newborn hernia? My premature baby has shown related symptoms. What should I do?
Answer
Hernias are a common condition in pediatric surgery, and conservative treatment methods are typically used for infants and young children, as symptoms may disappear as the body develops into the pre-school period. If symptoms persist beyond this period, surgical treatment is required, usually involving high ligation of the hernial sac. Parents should take their child to a doctor for timely treatment, avoid blind medication, and provide enough care and attention to help them recover from the disease in a timely manner.
