Should a boy have surgery for a hernia that is not serious?

If the patient’s hernia is not serious, surgical treatment can be withheld. Hernia is a common disease in pediatric surgery and hernia surgery, which can be clinically classified as inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, etc. It usually manifests itself as a protruding mass in the corresponding location and other symptoms. If the child is within one year of age, the hernia may heal on its own, and is usually treated conservatively with a hernia fixation belt, and surgery is not recommended. If the child is older than one year and the condition is not serious, in addition to the daily conservative treatment with hernia fixation belt, you can consult your doctor for elective surgical treatment, so as to avoid recurrence of the condition, leading to aggravation or even incarcerated hernia and other accidents. Children should try to avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as loud crying, shouting, violent coughing, forceful exercise, etc., but also through the way of manipulation of the conservative treatment, and at the same time do a good job of monitoring the condition, regular medical consultations, elective surgical treatment, and so on.
