Hernia in children is a common disease that usually occurs in infants and young children. The incidence rate of boys is higher than that of girls. Children's hernia needs to be treated in time, and surgery is a better treatment. Can a 2-year-old baby have hernia surgery?
2-year-old babies can undergo hernia surgery. Generally, if a baby under 2 years old has a hernia, as long as parents help the baby properly adjust, most babies' xenon gas can self heal. But if it is a severe hernia and the condition is getting worse, surgical treatment is needed.
Nowadays, medicine is relatively advanced, and performing hernia surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that generally does not have too much impact on the baby's physical health and childbirth. So parents can rest assured that after the surgery, they should pay attention to helping their baby do a comprehensive adjustment. To ensure that the baby rests well, gets enough sleep, and does not engage in vigorous exercise, so as not to affect the body's recovery.
Parents should also pay attention to dietary adjustments in terms of nutrition, and eat more high protein and vitamin rich foods to help with wound recovery. In addition, parents should also give their babies more coarse fiber foods, which can help them maintain smooth bowel movements and prevent constipation.
Finally, parents should also pay attention to timely follow-up examinations after surgery and urge their babies not to engage in activities that increase abdominal pressure to prevent the recurrence of their condition.
