A pediatric hernia is usually an inguinal hernia, mostly in boys but also in girls, mainly due to a tube between the stomach and scrotum that does not grow back. A hernia without complications is usually not painful, but if the intestinal tube in the stomach enters the scrotum and does not return, it can become a problem, which is medically called “incarcerated hernia”. If not treated in time, intestinal necrosis can occur, threatening the life of the child. The only way to treat a hernia is surgery, which can be done as early as 2-3 months of age and no later than 1 year. Some parents ask if a pediatric hernia can grow back on its own without surgery. The chances of this are very small and are usually seen only in infants within 2-3 months of age. When they are older, it is even less likely to heal on its own. As for medication for pediatric hernia, it is not effective. Therefore, parents should not have any worries about having hernia surgery for their children and should not think that the “very small chance” will become a big possibility in their children.
