When should pediatric hernia be treated1

  If a child develops a hernia, the best treatment time is generally around one year old. For children under one year old, if there is no strangulation, there is a possibility of self recovery within one year old, and clinical observation can be conducted first. If the child is over one year old or has recurrent incarceration within one year old, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If a child is found to have a hernia after the age of one, surgery should also be performed as soon as possible. It is best to detect and treat this disease early.

  Children must undergo surgical treatment at the appropriate time to achieve better treatment results and avoid worsening their condition. Children should actively cooperate with doctors for surgical treatment, preferably using minimally invasive surgery. This will cause less trauma to the child's body, have a shorter recovery time after surgery, and not cause a lot of pain. After undergoing hernia surgery, children should rest more.

  After the operation, the child should be allowed to rest, especially not to do heavy physical activities and sports within three months, and not always skip around. Parents must provide more Dim sum for the child's nursing work, so as to achieve better recovery effect, avoid recurrence of hernia, and ensure that the diet is lighter during the period.
