Treatment of umbilical hernia and inguinal hernia in infants

Babies are not suitable for surgery, and usually shrink and disappear by themselves at the age of one. A few large umbilical hernia gases, whose base diameter is more than two centimeters, can't be closed automatically before one or two years old. It needs to be explained to pediatric surgeons to rule out the danger that the intestine may slip out of the defect and get stuck. Surgical suture is necessary to avoid future trouble.

Treatment of inguinal hernia

If it is inguinal hernia, you can make a pair of tight underwear and sew two coins stacked together on the hernia. Coins must be wrapped in cloth so as not to hurt the baby. Sew them on the hernia and press them tightly. If two are not enough, three coins can be stacked together. Because the hernia is compressed, it heals quickly. Furthermore, follow him, try not to make him cry or push. Sometimes too much stool can cause hernia, so it is necessary to prevent constipation.

Timing of surgical treatment

If you still can't recover after 3 years old, you should consider surgery.
