The treatment of inguinal hernia in infants is either non-surgical or surgical depending on the condition.
1. non-surgical treatment: generally speaking, inguinal hernia in infants under 1 year old can not be operated on for the time being, because as the infant grows the abdominal muscles can become strong and the hernia may disappear on its own. Cotton sutures or bandages can be used to hold down the deep ring of the inguinal canal to prevent the hernia from protruding.
2. Surgery: Surgery can be considered if inguinal incarceration or inguinal hernia persists. The main surgical methods include high hernia sac ligation and tension-free hernia repair.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in time, according to their own conditions under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment program.
