What to do about inguinal hernia in newborns

Inguinal hernias are not uncommon in newborns, often occurring in low birth weight babies and premature babies, often combined with testicular syringomyelia. Depending on the situation, they can be observed or surgically treated as follows: 1. Observation: The occurrence of a hernia is not too stressful, because neonatal hernias are relatively large in mouth and usually do not become embedded, that is, they do not get stuck. If the child eats and drinks normally, it will not cause obstruction and stomach pain, so this can be observed first. 2. Surgery: In a small number of children, the hole is particularly small and the hernia falls out and gets stuck easily, sometimes half stuck or not, which affects digestion, and the child often cries and vomits all the time, so you can consult the pediatric surgeon first, let the doctor push the hernia back and tie the hernia belt. When the child grows up a little and the hernia is not easily stuck, some hernia will heal on its own. If the hernia does not heal after six months, you can choose minimally invasive surgery.
